Context of Psalms 102:12

10because of your anger and wrath. For you have picked me up and thrown me out. 11My life passes as swiftly as the evening shadows. I am withering away like grass. But you, O Lord, will sit on your throne forever. Your fame will endure to every generation. 13You will arise and have mercy on Jerusalem— and now is the time to pity her, now is the time you promised to help. 14For your people love every stone in her walls and cherish even the dust in her streets.
