Turn us again, O Lord God of hosts,.... This is a repetition of Psa 80:3, in which may be observed an increase of the names or titles of the Divine Being: in Psa 80:3, it is only "O God"; in Psa 80:7 "O God of hosts"; and here, "Lord God of hosts"; some have thought that the doctrine of the Trinity is here suggested; which is a better thought than that of Jarchi's, who supposes that three captivities of Israel are pointed at: but as it follows, cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved; it appears that this was the burden of their song, being in darkness and distress, that they might have the light of God's countenance, and therefore repeat it again and again.
