Psalms 80:3
3
O God, restore us!
Smile on us!
▼

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
).
Then we will be delivered!

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.
