Psalms 102:13

Zion
Mercy and compassion

11 My days are like lengthening shadows, and I wither away like grass.

12 But You, O LORD, sit enthroned forever; Your renown endures to all generations.

You will rise up and have compassion on Zion, for it is time to show her favor— the appointed time has come.

14 For Your servants delight in her stones and take pity on her dust.

15 So the nations will fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth will fear Your glory.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
