Context of Psalms 102:12
11My days are disappearing, like a shadow in the evening. Like dry grass, I will soon die. But you, Lord, rule for ever as king. People will always remember you. 13You will soon be kind to Zion again. Now it is time to forgive her. Yes, the time is now right for you to do that. 14Her buildings have become broken stones and dust. But your servants still love your city. We are sad to see that it is broken down.
