Context of Psalms 102:13

11My life passes as swiftly as the evening shadows. I am withering away like grass. 12But you, O Lord, will sit on your throne forever. Your fame will endure to every generation. You 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. 15Then the nations will tremble before the Lord. The kings of the earth will tremble before his glory.
