Lamentations 5

19 But you, O LORD, reign forever; your throne endures to all generations. 20 Why do you forget us forever, why do you forsake us for so many days? 21 Restore us to yourself, O LORD, that we may be restored! Renew our days as of old-- 22 unless you have utterly rejected us, and you remain exceedingly angry with us.
