Psalms 92:14
12 The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 Planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God.
In old age they will still bear fruit; healthy and green they will remain,
15 to proclaim, “The LORD is upright; He is my Rock, and in Him there is no unrighteousness.”
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
