Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 85:1

"Jehovah, thou hast been favorable unto thy land; Thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob." — Psalms 85:1 (ASV)

You have brought back. —See Psalms 14:7; Psalms 68:18. The expression might only imply generally a return to a state of former prosperity, as in Job 42:10, but the context directs us to refer especially to the return from exile. (See Introduction.)
