Context of Psalms 92:13
11My eyes gloat over those who spy on me. My ears hear ⌞the cries⌟ of evildoers attacking me. 12Righteous people flourish like palm trees and grow tall like the cedars in Lebanon. They are planted in the Lord’s house. They blossom in our God’s courtyards. 14Even when they are old, they still bear fruit. They are always healthy and fresh. 15They make it known that the Lord is decent. He is my rock. He is never unfair.

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
