What is the context?
The petition asks God to restore the people and end His displeasure. They question whether anger will continue across generations.
Revival is desired so that the people may rejoice in God. Loving devotion and salvation are the requested answer.
The prayer’s goal is renewed life with God, rather than restoration described only as national success. The repeated need does not cancel the mercy already remembered.
How is this passage commonly understood?
Wesley describes a further restoration involving the remaining people and restraint of enemies. That interpretation attends to the communal setting, while the psalm itself gives no fixed technique or schedule for revival.
