Context of Psalms 102:21

19Tell them that the Lord looked down from his home in heaven. He saw what was happening on the earth. 20He heard the prisoners call out in pain. He saved the lives of prisoners so they could go free before their enemies could kill them. As a result, people will shout the Lord's name in Zion. Yes, they will praise him in Jerusalem! 22At that time, people from all nations will meet together. The kingdoms of the world will come to serve the Lord. 23But God has made me weak before I have reached old age. He has made my life short.
