Context of Psalms 102:12

10Because of thine indignation and thy wrath; for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down. 11My days are like a lengthened-out shadow, and I, I am withered like grass. But thou, Jehovah, abidest for ever, and thy memorial from generation to generation. 13Thou wilt rise up, thou wilt have mercy upon Zion: for it is the time to be gracious to her, for the set time is come. 14For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour her dust.
