A Shining Face? Psalms 79-80, OT 01:366

In these two psalms, we hear the prayers of God's people when he allows them to suffer for their folly, followed by a plea for his love and forgiveness. In these twin psalms, we hear a beautiful expression of God's love for His people in the Hebrew phrase translated as, "may your face shine upon us." This is a tender expression of God's unending love which we can never outrun.
