Context of Psalms 92:13
11My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies; my ears have heard the defeat of my wicked opponents. 12But the godly will flourish like palm trees and grow strong like the cedars of Lebanon. For they are transplanted to the Lord’s own house. They flourish in the courts of our God. 14Even in old age they will still produce fruit; they will remain vital and green. 15They will declare, “The Lord is just! He is my rock! There is no evil in him!”
