Psalms 80:14 - Exposition

Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts ; i.e. "come back to us, to be our Helper and Defender." Look down from heaven, and behold . Condescend to "look down" upon us "from heaven," thy dwelling place, and "behold"—take note of our condition, see how we suffer, and thou wilt be sure to visit this vine; i.e. to "visit" it, not in wrath, but in loving kindness and compassion—to "visit it with thy salvation" ( Psalms 106:4 ).
