10because of your hostility and anger, because you have picked me up and thrown me away. 11My days are like a shadow that is getting longer, and I wither away like grass. But you, O Lord, remain forever. You are remembered throughout every generation. 13You will rise and have compassion on Zion, because it is time to grant a favor to it. Indeed, the appointed time has come. 14Your servants value Zion’s stones, and they pity its rubble.
