TSK · Lamentations 5:21

Answer me, O LORD, answer me, so these people will know that you, O LORD, are the true God and that you are winning back their allegiance.”

O God of Heaven’s Armies, restore us! Smile on us! Then we will be delivered!

Restore us, O God our deliverer! Do not be displeased with us!

I will rebuild you, my dear children Israel, so that you will once again be built up. Once again you will take up the tambourine and join in the happy throng of dancers.

Judah Will Be Restored The LORD of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel says,“I will restore the people of Judah to their land and to their towns. When I do, they will again say of Jerusalem,‘May the LORD bless you, you holy mountain, the place where righteousness dwells.’

“I, the LORD, say:‘You and your people are saying about this place,“It lies in ruins. There are no people or animals in it.” That is true. The towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem will soon be desolate, uninhabited either by people or by animals. But happy sounds will again be heard in these places.

I will give them one heart and I will put a new spirit within them; I will remove the hearts of stone from their bodies and I will give them tender hearts,

“This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will allow the house of Israel to ask me to do this for them: I will multiply their people like sheep.

The LORD says,‘I have returned to Zion and will live within Jerusalem. Now Jerusalem will be called“truthful city,”“mountain of the LORD of Heaven’s Armies,”“holy mountain.”’
