Lamentations 5:19 Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation.
In conclusion, the people ask that the LORD might turn them back to Himself, so they may be renewed. Interestingly, in many Hebrew manuscripts, [Verse 21] is repeated after [Verse 22], apparently to end the book on a note of hope rather than in complete darkness. [1] Indeed, a proper understanding of [Verse 22] makes this repetition unnecessary:
The ending aligns perfectly with the character of the "Lamentations," in which lamentation and supplication should continue to the end – though not without an element of hope, even if it does not rise to the heights of jubilant triumph but is only—as Gerlach expresses it— "like a distant gleam, like the morning star in the clouds, which of course does not dispel the shadows of the night yet still heralds the approaching sunrise, and this will bring victory." [2]
Footnote [1] A similar repetition for better use in synagogues is found at the end of the books of Ecclesiastes, Isaiah, and Malachi.
[2] Keil, »Lamentations«, Bd. XX, S. 455.

19Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation.20Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, [and] forsake us so long time?21Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.22But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us.
