Psalm 102

Verse 16 speaks of a time when the LORD will rebuild Zion. Verse 14 mentions the ruins of that city. From these references it seems that the oppressed man attributed with the words of this psalm is viewing the desolation that was once the city of Jerusalem. A city that now has been destroyed because of the rebellion of the nation of Israel. But even in the midst of destruction God has lit the candle of hope. The words of this weary man reflect the hope that could only have their origins in God. The one who gives second chances.
