Lamentations 5
5
Restore Us to Yourself, O Lord
1 #
Ps. 89:50 Remember, O Lord, what has befallen us;
look, and see #ch. 3:61our disgrace!
2 #
Ps. 79:1
Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers,
our homes to foreigners.
3We have become orphans, fatherless;
our mothers are like widows.
4We must pay for the water we drink;
the wood we get must be bought.
5 # [
Josh. 10:24
] Our pursuers are at our necks;
we are weary; we are given no rest.
6We have given the hand to #[Hos. 12:1]Egypt, and to #[Hos. 12:1]Assyria,
to get bread enough.
7Our fathers sinned, and are no more;
#
Jer. 31:29; Ezek. 18:2 and we bear their iniquities.
8 # [
Prov. 30:21, 22 ] Slaves rule over us;
there is none to deliver us from their hand.
9 # [
Jer. 6:25
] We get our bread at the peril of our lives,
because of the sword in the wilderness.
10 # See ch.
4:8 Our skin is hot as an oven
with #[Deut. 32:24]the burning heat of famine.
11Women are raped in Zion,
young women in the towns of Judah.
12 # See
2 Kgs. 25:19-21 Princes are hung up by their hands;
# ch.
4:16
no respect is shown to the elders.
13Young men are compelled to #[Judg. 16:21] grind at the mill,
and boys stagger #[Josh. 9:27]under loads of wood.
14 # [See ver. 12 above] The old men have left the city gate,
the young men #[Isa. 24:8]their music.
15 # [See ver. 14 above] The joy of our hearts has ceased;
# [
Amos 8:10
] our dancing has been turned to mourning.
16 #
Ps. 89:39; Jer. 13:18; [ch.
1:1
] The crown has fallen from our head;
woe to us, for we have sinned!
17For this #Isa. 1:5 our heart has become sick,
for these things #See ch. 2:11our eyes have grown dim,
18for Mount Zion which lies desolate;
# [
Isa. 34:13
] jackals prowl over it.
19 #
Ps. 9:7; 102:12; 145:13 But you, O Lord, reign forever;
your throne endures to all generations.
20 #
Ps. 13:1
Why do you forget us forever,
why do you forsake us for so many days?
21 #
Jer. 31:18; [
Ps. 80:3, 7, 19 ] Restore us to yourself, O Lord, that we may be restored!
Renew our days as of old—
22 #
Jer. 14:19
unless you have utterly rejected us,
and you remain exceedingly angry with us.
