Context of Psalms 92:14
12Righteous people will do well, like a palm tree that makes new leaves. They will become strong, like a tall cedar tree in Lebanon. 13They are like trees that someone has planted in the Lord's house. They grow well in the yard of our God's temple. When 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.’
