80:4 O Lord God, invincible warrior! 1
How long will you remain angry at your people while they pray to you? 2
1 tn Heb “
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.
