Psalm 102:20 in context

The verses around it, from Psalm 102.

16 For the LORD will rebuild Zion; He has appeared in His glory.

17 He will turn toward the prayer of the destitute; He will not despise their prayer.

18 Let this be written for the generation to come, so that a people not yet created may praise the LORD.

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,

21 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.

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