Psalm 102:14

Affliction In Light Of Eternity

¹³ Thou shalt arise and have mercy upon Zion; for the time to favour her, the set time, is come. ¹⁴ Surely Your servants find pleasure in her stones
And feel pity for her dust.
¹⁵ So the Gentiles shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory
