Psalms 102:13-14

     13, 14. Hence it is here adduced.

      for—or, "when."

      the set time, &c.—the time promised, the indication of which is the interest felt for Zion by the people of God.

Zechariah 9:16

     16. save them . . . as the flock of his people—as the flock of His people ought to be saved (Ps 77:20). Here the image of war and bloodshed (Zec 9:15) is exchanged for the shepherd and flock, as God will give not only victory, but afterwards safe and lasting peace. In contrast to the worthless sling-stones trodden under foot stand the (gems) "stones of the crown (Isa 62:3; Mal 3:17), lifted up as an ensign," that all may flock to the Jewish Church (Isa 11:10, 12; 62:10).
