Context of Psalms 102:13

11My days are like a shadow that is getting longer, and I wither away like grass. 12But you, O Lord, remain forever. You are remembered throughout every generation. You 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. 15The nations will fear the Lord’s name. All the kings of the earth will fear your glory.
