Lamentations 5

A Prayer for Restoration
1#Ps 44:13–16; La 3:61 Remember, O Lord, what has come upon us;
look, and see our reproach!
2#Zep 1:13; Isa 1:7 Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers,
our homes to foreigners.
3#Jer 18:21; Ex 22:24 We have become orphans and fatherless;
our mothers are like widows.
4#Isa 3:1 We must pay for the water we drink;
our wood is sold to us.
5#Ne 9:36–37 Our pursuers are at our necks;
we labor and have no rest.
6#Hos 9:3; 12:1 We have given our hand to Egypt and to Assyria,
to be satisfied with bread.
7#Jer 16:12; 31:29 Our fathers sinned and are no more,
but we bear their iniquities.
8#Ne 5:15; Zec 11:6 Slaves rule over us;
there is no one to deliver us from their hand.
9#Jer 40:9–12 We get our bread at the peril of our lives,
because of the sword in the wilderness.
10#La 4:8; Job 30:30 Our skin is hot as an oven,
because of the terrible famine.
11#Zec 14:2; Isa 13:16 They ravished the women in Zion,
the virgins in the cities of Judah.
12#La 4:16; Isa 47:6 Princes were hung up by their hands,
the faces of elders were not honored.
13#Jdg 16:21 Young men ground at the millstones;
boys staggered under loads of wood.
14#Jer 7:34 The elders have left the city gate,
the young men stopped their music.
15#Am 8:10 The joy of our hearts has ceased;
our dancing has turned into mourning.
16#Ps 89:39; Jer 13:18 The crown has fallen from our head;
woe to us, for we have sinned!
17#Isa 1:5; La 2:11 For this our heart is faint;
for these things our eyes grow dim;
18#Mic 3:12 because of Mount Zion, which is desolate,
with foxes walking upon it.
19#Ps 102:12; 45:6 You, O Lord, remain forever;
Your throne endures from generation to generation.
20#Ps 13:1; 44:24 Why do You forget us forever,
and forsake us for so long a time?
21#Ps 80:3; Jer 31:18 Restore us to Yourself, O Lord, that we may return!
Renew our days as of old,
22#Ps 60:1–2 unless You have utterly rejected us,
and are very angry with us.
