Mazmur 80:4

80:4 O Lord God, invincible warrior! ¹ 

How long will you remain angry at your people while they pray to you? ² 

Yesaya 60:20-22

60:20 Your sun will no longer set;

your moon will not disappear; ³ 

the Lord will be your permanent source of light;

your time ⁴  of sorrow will be over.

60:21 All of your people will be godly; ⁵ 

they will possess the land permanently.

I will plant them like a shoot;

they will be the product of my labor,

through whom I reveal my splendor. ⁶ 

60:22 The least of you will multiply into ⁷  a thousand;

the smallest of you will become a large nation.

When the right time comes, I the Lord will quickly do this!” ⁸ 

[80:4]  ¹ tn Heb “Lord, God, hosts.” One expects the construct form אֱלֹהֵי (’elohey) before צְבָאוֹת (tsÿva’ot; “hosts”; see Ps 89:9), but יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים (yehvah ’elohim) precedes צְבָאוֹת (tsÿva’ot) in Pss 59:5 and 84:8 as well. In this context the term “hosts” (meaning “armies”) has been rendered “invincible warrior.”

[80:4]  ² tn Heb “How long will you remain angry during the prayer of your people.” Some take the preposition -בְּ (bet) in an adversative sense here (“at/against the prayer of your people”), but the temporal sense is preferable. The psalmist expects persistent prayer to pacify God.

[60:20]  ³ sn In this verse “sun” and “moon” refer to the Lord’s light, which will replace the sun and moon (see v. 19). Light here symbolizes the restoration of divine blessing and prosperity in conjunction with the Lord’s presence. See 30:26.

[60:20]  ⁴ tn Heb “days” (so KJV, NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT).

[60:21]  ⁵ tn Or “righteous” (NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT); NAB “just.”

[60:21]  ⁶ tn Heb “a shoot of his planting, the work of my hands, to reveal splendor.”

[60:22]  ⁷ tn Heb “will become” (so NASB, NIV).

[60:22]  ⁸ tn Heb “I, the Lord, in its time, I will quickly do it.”
