The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.
The Lord doth build up Jerusalem. The city was built up by Nehemiah first (Nehemiah 2:5), and afterward the walls, which completed the work (Psalms 147:13; Nehemiah 3:1; Nehemiah 6:15).
He gathereth together the outcasts of Israel - in consonance with the promise, Deuteronomy 30:3; Isaiah 11:12; Isaiah 56:8. The full gathering of Israel's outcasts is yet future (Psalms 107:3).
