Psalms 80:7
Restore us, O God of Hosts, and cause Your face to shine upon us, that we may be saved.
BSB
ASV
Turn us again, O God of hosts; And cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
KJV
Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
Turn us again, O God of hosts,.... The same with Psa 80:3, only instead of God there, here it is "the God of hosts"; the repetition of these words shows what was uppermost on the minds of God's people; what they were longing for, and most desirous of, namely, the light of God's countenance.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
The walk8
Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Cast away from yourselves all the transgressions you have committed, and fashion for yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. Why should you die, O house of Israel?
