The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 80:1

The cherubim. Who and what were they? We regard them as types of redeemed humanity, and designed to prefigure and promise that redemption. In proof, consider— I. THE VARIOUS REFERENCES TO THEM IN THE SCRIPTURES . 1 . In connection with the expulsion of Adam and Eve from Paradise. ( Genesis 3:24 .) This passage tells but little of the nature of these exalted beings, only that they were held fit to occupy the place where only perfect righteousness could dwell.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 80:1

Throned above the cherubim-a conception of God. Prayer book Version, "Thou that sittest upon the cherubim;" Perowne, "Thou that sittest (throned above) the cherubim;" Revised Version margin, "dwellest between." It is plain that this psalm was composed when Israel was groaning under some foreign oppression which it was powerless to resist. It is a plaintive cry for restoration to a state which should be indicative of the Divine favour. Two periods may be mentioned as times when Palestine... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 80:1-19

God's redemption. "It is not a bringing back out of exile that is here prayed for, for the people are still on the soil of their own country; but in their present Feebleness they are no longer like themselves, but stand in need of Divine intervention, the shining forth of the hidden countenance of God, in order again to attain a condition that is in harmony with the promises." Suggests— I. GOD HAS MADE A GLORIOUS REDEMPTION POSSIBLE FOR US . ( Psalms 80:8 .) Has... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 80:2

Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh . "Ephraim" and "Manasseh" form a natural expansion of the "Joseph" of the preceding verse; but it is difficult to understand the mention of "Benjamin" here. Hengstenberg suggests, and both Canon Cook and Professor Cheyne seem to accept the suggestion, that it was only a small portion of Benjamin which adhered to Judah at the division of the kingdoms, the greater part attaching itself to the rival power. Stir up thy strength ; i.e. "rouse... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 80:2

God's strength needed for saving work. "Stir up thy strength, and come and save us." It is singular that three only of the twelve tribes should be mentioned; but the poet's mind was full of the wilderness associations, and he knew that these three tribes followed in the order of procession immediately behind the ark. So the shining forth of the glory is thought of as at once seen by them. "The writer prays that the brightness of the Shechinah, the light of God's countenance, thus... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 80:3

Turn us again, O God ; or, restore us— "bring us back"— i.e. bring those of us who are in exile ( 2 Kings 15:29 ) back to our country. And cause thy face to shine (comp. Numbers 6:25 ; Psalms 31:16 ; Psalms 67:1 ). The metaphor scarcely needs explanation. And we shall be saved. If thou lookest upon us with favour, our salvation is assured. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 80:3

Real salvation. 1 . Three times is this prayer repeated, but with slight, though noticeable, difference. Here, in its first utterance, it is addressed only to God. But the second time ( Psalms 80:7 ) it calls on God as "God of hosts." The eye of faith saw the ministers of God's power around him, the hosts of the holy angels who waited to do his will. Then the third time ( Psalms 80:19 ) it is the "Lord God of hosts" on whom he calls, making mention of the covenant name by which God... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 80:3

The turnings and returnings of God. "Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine." The expression, "turn us," seems to have been used in the prayers of the captives in Babylon; they are represented as saying, "Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as the streams in the south!" The exiles are not praying for repentance, but for a change in their circumstances—a change in the evident relations of God to them. Their captivity seemed to them God's turning them away from him. What they asked... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 80:3-18

A cry of weakness, a prayer of faith, "Turn us … we shall be turned." The life of the individual, of the Church, of the nation, depends not on means, methods, forms, institutions. With God is the fountain of life. These words are a cry of weakness, helplessness, humiliation; but also a prayer of faith, hope, joyful expectancy. I. A CONFESSION OF WEAKNESS , DANGER , SIN . 1 . In ordinary affairs a sense of weakness, helplessness, despondency, is the forerunner of failure,... read more
