Context of Psalms 102:16
14Surely Your servants take pleasure in her stones, And feel pity for her dust. 15So the nations will fear the name of the Lord, And all the kings of the earth, Your glory. For the Lord has built up Zion; He has appeared in His glory. 17He has turned His attention to the prayer of the destitute And has not despised their prayer. 18This will be written for the generation to come, That a people yet to be created may praise the Lord:

Commentaries on Psalms 102:16
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 16When the Lord shall build up Zion - It is such a difficult thing, so wholly improbable, so far out of the reach of human power, that when God does it, he must manifest his power and glory in a most extraordinary manner.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 16When the Lord shall build up Zion - The Septuagint, the Latin Vulgate, and Luther, vender this, “Because the Lord hath built up Zion.” This also is the most natural and correct translation of the Hebrew.

- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 15-16When the Lord arises (Psalm 102:13), the nations will tremble with fear because they will see his glory (see Psalm 8:1; 19:1–4a; 24:7).
