Context of Psalms 102:13

11My days are like an evening shadow that lengthens and vanishes [with the sun]; And as for me, I wither away like grass. 12But You, O Lord, are enthroned forever [ruling eternally as sovereign]; And [the fame and glory of] Your name [endures] to all generations. You will arise and have compassion on Zion, For it is time to be gracious and show favor to her; Yes, the appointed time [the moment designated] has come. 14For Your servants find [melancholy] pleasure in the stones [of her ruins] And feel pity for her dust. 15So the nations will fear the name of the Lord, And all the kings of the earth [will recognize] Your glory.
