It’s time to have mercy on Zion, the Psalmist says; “surely the time has come” (Psalm 102:14). And why? ” For ( ki ) your servants love her very stones and feel compassion for her dust” (v. 15).
The love of Yahweh’s servants for Zion is a reason for Yahweh to show pity to Zion. Yahweh the Creator so condescends to His people that He loves what they love.
