Psalm 92
1. The prophet exhorts to praise God
4. For his great works
6. For his judgments on the wicked
10. And for his goodness to the godly.














Planted
The word "planted" in Psalm 92:13 evokes the imagery of a tree firmly rooted in the soil, suggesting stability, growth, and nourishment. In Hebrew, the word used is "שָׁתוּל" (shatul), which implies being intentionally placed and cared for. This reflects the divine intention and care God has for His people, ensuring they are positioned in environments conducive to spiritual growth. The act of planting is deliberate, symbolizing God's purposeful design for believers to flourish in His presence.

in the house of the LORD
This phrase signifies a sacred and secure environment where believers are nurtured. The "house of the LORD" refers to the temple in Jerusalem, a central place of worship and God's dwelling among His people. Historically, the temple was the heart of Israel's religious life, symbolizing God's covenant and presence. For Christians, this can be seen as a metaphor for the church or the body of Christ, where believers gather to worship, learn, and grow in faith. It emphasizes the importance of community and fellowship in spiritual development.

they will flourish
The term "flourish" suggests thriving, prosperity, and vitality. In Hebrew, the word is "פָּרַח" (parach), which means to blossom or sprout. This conveys the idea of believers experiencing abundant life and spiritual growth when rooted in God's presence. Flourishing is not merely surviving but thriving in the fullness of God's blessings and purposes. It reflects the transformative power of God's presence, enabling believers to bear fruit and live out their faith dynamically and vibrantly.

in the courts of our God
The "courts" refer to the outer areas of the temple where worshippers gathered. In ancient Israel, these courts were places of praise, prayer, and community. The phrase "our God" personalizes the relationship, emphasizing a communal and individual connection with the divine. It highlights the privilege and blessing of being in close proximity to God, where His presence is accessible and His glory is manifest. For believers, it underscores the joy and fulfillment found in living a life centered around worship and communion with God.

(13) (See Note, Psalm 52:8, and Stanley's Jewish Church, ii. 207.)

Verse 13. - Those that be planted in the house of the Lord; rather, Planted (or, Being planted) in the house of the Lord, they. This does not refer to the "trees" of the preceding verse, but to the "righteous," who are viewed as passing their days almost continually in the temple courts, and so as (in a certain sense) "planted" there. The passage has no bearing on the question whether the temple courts were or were not planted with trees. Shall flourish in the courts of our God (comp. Psalm 84:2, 10).
