Yes, the server is recovering the database. Was there any sudden shut down of the SQL Server? Just wait till it comes back online again.
That's true of the state RECOVERING. Recovery Pending means that recovery cannot be started. Until the cause is fixed, recovery cannot run and the DB cannot come online.
