Context of Psalms 80:7
5You have fed us with sorrow and made us drink tears by the bucketful. 6You have made us the scorn of neighboring nations. Our enemies treat us as a joke. Turn us again to yourself, O God of Heaven’s Armies. Make your face shine down upon us. Only then will we be saved. 8You brought us from Egypt like a grapevine; you drove away the pagan nations and transplanted us into your land. 9You cleared the ground for us, and we took root and filled the land.

Commentaries on Psalms 80:7
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 7Turn us again, O God of hosts - This verse is the same as Psalm 80:3, except that here the appeal is to the “God of hosts;” there, it is simply to “God.” This indicates greater earnestness; a deeper sense of the need of the interposition of God, indicated by the reference to his attribute as the leader of hosts or armies, and therefore able to save them.Read the comment
