Psalms 102:22

20 to hear a prisoner’s groaning, to release those condemned to death,

21 that they may proclaim the name of the LORD in Zion and praise Him in Jerusalem,

when peoples and kingdoms assemble to serve the LORD.

23 He has broken my strength on the way; He has cut short my days.

24 I say: “O my God, do not take me in the midst of my days! Your years go on through all generations.

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.
