come to Zion
The time when the "Redeemer shall come to Zion" is fixed, relatively, by Romans 11:23-29 as following the completion of the Gentile Church. That is also the order of the great dispensational passage, Acts 15:14-17 .
In both, the return of the Lord to Zion follows the outcalling of the Church.

Context Summary

Psalms 106:1-15 - Unfailing Loving-Kindness
Who can utter? That is an unanswered question. Not even the leader of the heavenly choir can answer it. But what blessedness it brings to the heart of one who begins to recite the goodness and loving-kindness of God! When prayer goes heavily, begin to praise.
The theme of this psalm is God's redeeming grace. It contains a gruesome catalogue of sin. We have sinned"¦ we have committed iniquity"¦ our fathers understood not"¦ they remembered not"¦ but provoked"¦ they soon forgat"¦ they waited not"¦ but lusted exceedingly"¦ and tempted God. But side by side were the divine love and mercy: "Nevertheless He saved them for His name's sake," Psalms 106:8. God is bound to keep His Covenant, even to the children's children. He must act worthily of Himself. "Truth" is another spelling of "troth." When God has pledged His troth, as He did to Abraham, and has also to us, He cannot fail.
Notice the pathetic prayer of Psalms 106:4. Though we are more or less implicated in the sins of those around us, we, as Christians, may claim special favor and help, in order to be placed in a stronger position when we come to intercede for others. [source]
