Psalm 80 is a prayer for restoration of God’s favor… asking for guidance and provision. It stems from the Priestly Blessing in Numbers 6:24-26, where God gave Moses a threefold blessing for Aaron and his sons to recite to the people. “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace.” Thus, the Writer of this Psalm is reminding God of what He has promised in the past to His people in this current time of desperate need.
