Context of Psalms 92:13
11I gloat in triumph over those who tried to ambush me; I hear the defeated cries of the evil foes who attacked me. 12The godly grow like a palm tree; they grow high like a cedar in Lebanon. Planted in the Lord’s house, they grow in the courts of our God. 14They bear fruit even when they are old; they are filled with vitality and have many leaves. 15So they proclaim that the Lord, my protector, is just and never unfair.

- 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
