“Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved” (Psalm 80:3).

With slight variation, that verse is repeated twice (7,19) in this chapter.

There’s something about those verses that I like. What could it be?

Maybe it’s the thought that God can turn me around again after I have strayed from His ways.

Maybe it’s the idea of God’s face shining — instead of a thundercloud look of displeasure, the gleaming joy of His approval.

Then there’s the reality that when God acts in our favor, our salvation results.
