Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 3. Turn us again ] wnbyh hashibenu, convert or restore us.
There are four parts in this Psalm, three of which end with the above words; see the third, seventh, and nineteenth verses; and one with words similar, ver. 14.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-7 - He that dwelleth upon the mercy-seat, is the good Shepherd of his people. But we can neither expect the comfort of his love, nor the protection of his arm, unless we partake of his converting grace. If he is really angry at the prayers of his people, it is because, althoug they pray, their ends are not right, or there is some secret sin indulged in them, or he will try their patience and perseverance in prayer. When God is displeased with his people, we must expect to se them in tears, and their enemies in triumph. There is no salvation but from God's favour; there is no conversion to God but by his own grace.
