Planted in the house of the LORD
This phrase suggests a deep, abiding relationship with God, akin to a tree firmly rooted in fertile soil. The imagery of being "planted" indicates stability, nourishment, and growth. In biblical times, the temple, or the "house of the LORD," was the center of worship and spiritual life for the Israelites. Being planted there implies a life centered around worship and devotion to God. This can be connected to Psalm 1:3, where the righteous are likened to a tree planted by streams of water, yielding fruit in season. The temple was not only a physical structure but also a symbol of God's presence among His people, suggesting that those who are "planted" are continually in His presence.

They will flourish in the courts of our God
The "courts" refer to the outer areas of the temple where worshippers gathered. Flourishing in this context implies thriving spiritually and experiencing the fullness of life that comes from being in God's presence. The use of "flourish" suggests prosperity and vitality, much like a healthy plant that grows and bears fruit. This flourishing is not merely physical but spiritual, indicating a life enriched by God's blessings and favor. The courts of God were accessible to all who came to worship, symbolizing inclusivity and the communal aspect of faith. This flourishing can be seen as a fulfillment of God's promises to His people, as seen in passages like Isaiah 40:31, where those who hope in the LORD renew their strength. The imagery also points to the eternal flourishing promised to believers, as seen in Revelation 22:1-2, where the tree of life bears fruit in the heavenly city.

Teaching Points
Rooted in God's Presence
Being "planted in the house of the LORD" signifies a life deeply rooted in God's presence. Just as a plant needs good soil to thrive, believers need to be grounded in their relationship with God.

Community and Growth
The "courts of our God" suggest a communal aspect of faith. Spiritual growth often occurs in the context of community, where believers encourage and support one another.

Flourishing through Faithfulness
Flourishing is a result of faithfulness and obedience to God. It is not merely about personal success but about spiritual vitality and fruitfulness.

The Importance of Worship
Regular worship and engagement with God's Word are crucial for spiritual growth. Being in the "house of the LORD" implies a commitment to worship and learning.

Eternal Perspective
Flourishing in God's courts points to an eternal perspective, where true prosperity is found in God's presence, both now and in eternity.(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).
