Lamentations 5:21
19 You, O LORD, reign forever; Your throne endures from generation to generation.
20 Why have You forgotten us forever? Why have You forsaken us for so long?
Restore us to Yourself, O LORD, so we may return; renew our days as of old,
22 unless You have utterly rejected us and remain angry with us beyond measure.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
