Psalms 102:21
19 For He looked down from the heights of His sanctuary; the LORD gazed out from heaven to earth
20 to hear a prisoner’s groaning, to release those condemned to death,
that they may proclaim the name of the LORD in Zion and praise Him in Jerusalem,
22 when peoples and kingdoms assemble to serve the LORD.
23 He has broken my strength on the way; He has cut short my days.
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.
