Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
When the Lord shall build--or better, "Because the Lord hath built," &c., as a reason for the effect on others; for in thus acting and hearing the humble, He is most glorious.
John Gill Bible Commentary
He will regard the prayer of the destitute,.... Of the destitute of human help and support, protection and defence; as the church in the wilderness; of the "poor", as the Syriac and Arabic versions, both in spirit and in purse; of the "humble", as the Septuagint and Vulgate Latin: the word (c) signifies a low shrub or plant; it is rendered, the heath in the wilderness, Jer 17:6 and designs the saints in their low and afflicted state, during the reign of antichrist, and while the witnesses prophesy in sackcloth; these are the elect that pray day and night, and give the Lord no rest till he establish and make Jerusalem a praise in the earth; and the prayers of these are regarded and looked to by the Lord; his eyes are upon and his ears are open to these praying ones; and all the glorious things which shall be done for the church of God will be in consequence of their prayers: and not despise their prayer; not reject it with contempt and abhorrence; more is intended than is expressed: the meaning is, that he will receive it with pleasure, and return an answer to it; the prayer of these poor destitute ones is delightful to him, Pro 15:8. (c) "eorum, qui sunt veluti myricae", Pagninus, Vatablus, Cocceius.
Psalms 102:16
The Prayer of the Afflicted
15So the nations will fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth will fear Your glory. 16For the LORD will rebuild Zion; He has appeared in His glory. 17He will turn toward the prayer of the destitute; He will not despise their prayer.

Psalms 102:16
By Chuck Smith0ProphecyRestorationPSA 102:16ISA 31:5ISA 60:1JER 30:3EZK 36:24DAN 9:26JOL 2:23ZEC 13:7MAT 24:30ROM 11:25Chuck Smith discusses the desolation of Zion as a consequence of rejecting the Messiah, emphasizing that God scattered His people and left the land barren. However, he highlights God's promise to restore Zion, bringing His people back and revitalizing the land, which has seen a remarkable transformation in recent history. Smith points out that the return of the Jews to their homeland, despite initial unbelief, is a fulfillment of biblical prophecy, leading to Israel's rebirth as a nation in 1948. He concludes with the assurance of Christ's second coming in glory, contrasting it with His first coming in humility, and the future role of the Jewish people in God's plan.
Leviticus 26:3
By Chuck Smith0ObedienceGod's PromisesLEV 26:3JDG 6:11SA 4:101KI 17:12KI 6:282KI 17:25PSA 102:16ISA 27:6JER 25:11EZK 37:21Chuck Smith emphasizes the certainty of God's promises as outlined in Leviticus 26:3, highlighting the importance of obedience to God's statutes and commandments. He explains that our choices determine the blessings we receive, such as peace, protection, and God's presence, which are by-products of a life lived in obedience. Conversely, disobedience leads to dire consequences, including futility and desolation. Smith reassures that God's word is sure, as He has fulfilled His promises in the past and will continue to do so in the future.
Exploring Israel's Deliverance Through Zion
By Art Katz0The Role of the ChurchIsrael's DeliverancePSA 14:7PSA 24:7PSA 102:16EZK 20:35HOS 2:14MAT 5:8ACT 3:21ROM 8:19ROM 11:11ROM 11:26Art Katz explores the profound theme of Israel's deliverance through Zion, emphasizing that the ultimate salvation of Israel is tied to the character of the King and His Kingdom, which is embodied in a mature Church. He highlights the necessity for the Church to undergo sanctification and to embody the character of God in order to fulfill its role as an agent of restoration for Israel. Katz draws parallels between the prophetic Scriptures and the Church's responsibility to provoke Israel to jealousy through its own transformation and holiness. He underscores that true dedication to God is essential for the Church to be a powerful instrument in the Last Days, preparing for the return of Christ and the fulfillment of God's promises. The sermon calls for a deep seeking of God and a commitment to holiness as the Church prepares for its pivotal role in the eschatological events to come.
