Psalms 92:13 Summary
[This verse is saying that when we are connected to God and part of a community of believers, we will grow and thrive, like a plant that is watered and nourished. As it says in Psalms 1:3, we will be 'like a tree planted by streams of water', and we will experience joy and fulfillment in our relationship with Him. By prioritizing our relationship with God and being part of a community of believers, we can 'flourish' and grow in our faith, as seen in Colossians 2:6-7. This is a promise that we can hold onto, and it gives us hope and encouragement as we navigate the ups and downs of life.]

Gill's Exposition on Psalms 92:13
Those that be planted in the house of the Lord,.... Or being planted (e), that is, everyone of the righteous before mentioned; such are they that are planted out of the wilderness of the world, and
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 92:13
Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 92:13
Those that be planted; whom God by his gracious providence and Holy Spirit hath planted or fixed there. In the house of the Lord, i.e. in its courts, which are a part of the house, and oft come under that name in Scripture. And by this house he means the church of God, whereof all just persons are real and living members. The courts; which he mentions rather than the house, because he speaks not here of the priests, but of all just men, who were permitted to come no further than into the courts.
Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 92:13
Psalms 92:13 Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.Ver. 13. Those that be planted] Having taken deep root there. Hypocrites are only thrust in, as a stake, into the earth. Mnason was an old disciple, Andronicus and Junia were in Christ before Paul, and therefore of note among the apostles for well-rooted and fruited, Romans 16:7. In the courts of our God] In Christ, and under the ordinances.
Ellicott's Commentary on Psalms 92:13
(13) (See Note, Psalms 52:8, and Stanley’s Jewish Church, ii. 207.)
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Psalms 92:13
Verse 13. Those that be planted in the house of the Lord] I believe the Chaldee has the true meaning here: "His children shall be planted in the house of the sanctuary of the Lord, and shall flourish in the courts of our God." As these trees flourish in their respective soils and climates, so shall the righteous in the ordinances of God. I do not think there is any allusion to either palm-trees or cedars, planted near the tabernacle or temple.
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 92:13
13. Planted in the house of Jehovah They shall flourish in the courts of our God. It is possible that trees had grown in the Temple courts, as they grow at the present day in the Haram area, and that the prosperity and security of the righteous are compared to the luxuriant growth of the carefully tended trees in the sacred precincts. But the expression may be merely figurative. The land was ‘Jehovah’s house.’ Replanted there, Israel will evermore flourish under the care and guardianship of Jehovah. Cp. Psalms 52:8; Isaiah 61:3; Jeremiah 32:41. The addition in the P.B.V. ‘in the courts of the house of our God’ is from the Vulg.
Barnes' Notes on Psalms 92:13
Those that be planted in the house of the Lord - As if plants were reared up in the house of God. The same image, under the idea of the olive tree, occurs in Psalms 52:8. See the notes at that verse.
Whedon's Commentary on Psalms 92:13
13. Planted in the house of the Lord—The metaphor is carried through this and the following verses. The right planting is first essential to growth and fertility.
