▼ Heb “O God, hosts.” One expects the construct form אֱלֹהֵי before צְבָאוֹת (ts^eva’ot, “hosts”; see Ps 89:9), but יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים (yehvah ’elohim) precedes צְבָאוֹת (ts^eva’ot) in Pss 59:5 and 84:8 as well. See also v. 4 for a similar construction.

▼ The idiom “cause your face to shine” probably refers to a smile (see Eccl 8:1), which in turn suggests favor and blessing (see Num 6:25; Pss 4:6; 31:16; 44:3; 67:1; 89:15; Dan 9:17).

▼ Heb “cause your face to shine in order that we may be delivered.” After the imperative, the cohortative with prefixed vav (ו) indicates purpose/result.
