Commentaries on Psalms 80:1

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 1O Shepherd of Israel - The subject continued from the last verse of the preceding Psalm.

But we can neither expect the comfort of his love, nor the protection of his arm, unless we partake of his converting grace. If he is really angry at the prayers of his people, it is because, although they pray, their ends are not…Read the comment
