Context of Psalms 102:15
13You will rise up and have compassion on Zion. For it is time to have mercy on her, for the appointed time has come. 14Indeed, your servants take delight in her stones, and feel compassion for the dust of her ruins. The nations will respect the reputation of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth will respect his splendor, 16when the Lord rebuilds Zion, and reveals his splendor, 17when he responds to the prayer of the destitute, and does not reject their request.
