Psalms 80:4

O Lord God, invincible warrior! ¹  How long will you remain angry at your people while they pray to you? ² 

O LORD God Almighty, how long will your anger smoulder against the prayers of your people?

O LORD God of hosts, How long will You be angry with the prayer of Your people?

O LORD God Almighty, how long will you be angry and reject our prayers?

GOD, God of the angel armies, how long will you smolder like a sleeping volcano while your people call for fire and brimstone?

O Lord God of armies, how long will your wrath be burning against the rest of your people?

O LORD God of hosts, how long will you be angry with your people’s prayers?

O LORD God of hosts, How long will You be angry Against the prayer of Your people?

O Lord God, invincible warrior! ¹  How long will you remain angry at your people while they pray to you? ² 

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.”

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.
