Contradiction with Psalms 115:3
While Psalms 85:1 speaks of God's favor and restoration to the land, Psalms 115:3 emphasizes God's sovereignty and His right to do as He pleases, which may not always align with human expectations of restoration.
Psalms 115:3: But our God [is] in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.
Contradiction with Isaiah 55:8-9
Psalms 85:1 suggests a specific action of restoration by God, whereas Isaiah 55:8-9 highlights that God's thoughts and ways are higher than human understanding, potentially contradicting the expectation of predictable actions.
Isaiah 55:8-9: For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
Contradiction with Job 9:12
Psalms 85:1 implies God's merciful action in restoring favor, while Job 9:12 expresses that God acts without being questioned, which may not always result in restoration.
Job 9:12: Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou? [hinder...: Heb. turn him away?]
Contradiction with Romans 11:33
While Psalms 85:1 deals with a direct act of restoration, Romans 11:33 speaks to the unsearchable judgments and ways of God, suggesting that human understanding of divine actions, including restoration, may be limited or unexpected.
Romans 11:33: O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable [are] his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
