Context of Psalms 92:13
11With my own eyes, I have seen my enemies fall. With my own ears, I have heard them cry out in pain. 12Righteous people will do well, like a palm tree that makes new leaves. They will become strong, like a tall cedar tree in Lebanon. They are like trees that someone has planted in the Lord's house. They grow well in the yard of our God's temple. 14When they are old, they will still give fruit! They will always be strong, with fresh, green leaves. 15They will tell everyone, ‘The Lord always does what is right. He is my strong, safe rock. There is nothing bad in him.’

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 13Those that be planted in the house of the Lord - I believe the Chaldee has the true meaning here: "His children shall be planted in the house of the sanctuary of the Lord, and shall flourish in the courts of our God." As these trees flourish in their respective soils and climates, so shall the righteous in the ordinances of God. I do not think there is any allusion to either palm-trees or cedars, planted near the tabernacle or temple.Read the comment
