Context of Psalms 102:16
14Her buildings have become broken stones and dust. But your servants still love your city. We are sad to see that it is broken down. 15The nations will respect the Lord's name. All the kings of the world will praise your glory. That will happen when the Lord builds Zion again and he appears there in his glory. 17He will answer the prayers of poor people who have nothing. He will not refuse to help them. 18Write these things down for people who live in future times to read. Then they too will praise the Lord.

He shall appear in his glory - The idea is that the building up of Zion…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 12-22Verses 12-22 We are dying creatures, but God is an everlasting God, the protector of his church; we may be confident that it will not be neglected.
