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.
