Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 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; Psalm 31:16; Psalm 67:1). The metaphor scarcely needs explanation. And we shall be saved. If thou lookest upon us with favour, our salvation is assured.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(3) Turn us again--i.e., "restore us," not necessarily with reference to the Captivity, but generally, restore us to our pristine prosperity.Cause thy face to shine.--The desert encampment and march is still in the poet's thought. As in Psalm 67:1 (see Note) we have here a reminiscence of the priestly benediction.Saved.--Or, helped. This verse constitutes the refrain.
