Lamentations 5:19
Context
19You, O LORD, rule forever;
         Your throne is from generation to generation.

20Why do You forget us forever?

21Restore us to You, O LORD, that we may be restored;
         Renew our days as of old,

22Unless You have utterly rejected us
         And are exceedingly angry with us.

He had the copy of God's law written on his heart; no sooner did God command but he obeyed.
