Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Lamentations 5:21

_ _ (Psalms 80:3; Jeremiah 31:18). “Restore us to favor with Thee, and so we shall be restored to our old position” [Grotius]. Jeremiah is not speaking of spiritual conversion, but of that outward turning whereby God receives men into His fatherly favor, manifested in bestowing prosperity [Calvin]. Still, as Israel is a type of the Church, temporal goods typify spiritual blessings; and so the sinner may use this prayer for God to convert him.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Lamentations 5:17-22.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Lamentations 5:21

Renew — Restore us to our former estate.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Lamentations 5:21

(l) Turn thou us to thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.

(l) By which is declared that it is not in man's power to turn to God, but is only his work to convert us, and thus God works in us before we can turn to him, (Jeremiah 31:18).
