Context of Psalms 102:15

13Thou wilt rise up, thou wilt have mercy upon Zion: for it is the time to be gracious to her, for the set time is come. 14For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour her dust. And the nations shall fear the name of Jehovah, and all the kings of the earth thy glory. 16When Jehovah shall build up Zion, he will appear in his glory. 17He will regard the prayer of the destitute one, and not despise their prayer.
