Commentary on Psalms 85:1
The psalm celebrates restoration: "LORD, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob" (Hebrew ratzita YHWH artzekha shavta sh-vut Ya-aqov). "Favourable" (Hebrew ratzah) indicates acceptance, pleasure—God's face shining again. "Brought back captivity" describes return from exile. The possessive "thy land" reminds that Canaan is God's gift. The verse celebrates when God turns from judgment to mercy, ending discipline and restoring relationship.
