18 So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.
18 Then we will not turn away from you; revive us, and we will call on your name.
18 Then we shall not turn back from you; give us life, and we will call upon your name!
18 We will never turn our back on you; breathe life into our lungs so we can shout your name!
18 Then we will not turn back from You; Revive us, and we will call upon Your name.
18 Then we will never abandon you again. Revive us so we can call on your name once more.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 80:18
Commentary on Psalm 80:17-19
(Read Psalm 80:17-19)
The Messiah, the Protector and Saviour of the church, is the Man of God's right hand; he is the Arm of the Lord, for all power is given to him. In him is our strength, by which we are enabled to persevere to the end. The vine, therefore, cannot be ruined, nor can any fruitful branch perish; but the unfruitful will be cut off and cast into the fire. The end of our redemption is, that we should serve Him who hath redeemed us, and not go back to our old sins.
