Psalm 102:14-16
New Catholic Bible
14 You will arise and show mercy to Zion,
for it is time for you to have pity on her;
the appointed time[a] has come.
15 For her stones are precious to your servants,
and her dust causes them to weep.[b]
16 The nations will revere your name,[c] O Lord,
and all the kings of the earth will sing of your glory.
