Psalms 72:7

72:7 During his days the godly will flourish;

peace will prevail as long as the moon remains in the sky.

Psalms 92:12-13

92:12 The godly grow like a palm tree;

they grow high like a cedar in Lebanon.

92:13 Planted in the Lord’s house,

they grow in the courts of our God.

Psalms 92:7

92:7 When the wicked sprout up like grass,

and all the evildoers glisten,

it is so that they may be annihilated.


tn Heb “sprout up,” like crops. This verse continues the metaphor of rain utilized in v. 6.

tn Heb “and [there will be an] abundance of peace until there is no more moon.”

tn The singular is used in a representative sense, with the typical godly person being in view.

sn The cedars of the Lebanon forest were well-known in ancient Israel for their immense size.

tn Or “flourish.”

tn Heb “in order that they might be destroyed permanently.”
