Psalms 92:13-14

 

תהלים פרק צב:יג-טז

Original Text:

(יג) צַדִּיק כַּתָּמָר יִפְרָח כְּאֶרֶז בַּלְּבָנוֹן יִשְׂגֶּה:
(יד) שְׁתוּלִים בְּבֵית יְקֹוָק בְּחַצְרוֹת אֱלֹהֵינוּ יַפְרִיחוּ:
(טו) עוֹד יְנוּבוּן בְּשֵׂיבָה דְּשֵׁנִים וְרַעֲנַנִּים יִהְיוּ:
(טז) לְהַגִּיד כִּי יָשָׁר יְקֹוָק צוּרִי וְלֹא עלתה עַוְלָתָה בּוֹ

Translation:

The righteous bloom like a date palm; they thrive like a cedar in Lebanon; planted in the house of the Lord, they flourish in the courts of our God. In old age they still produce fruit. They are full of sap and freshness, attesting that the Lord is upright, my rock, in whom there is no wrong. [JPS translation]

Suggested Discussion Questions:

1. What connection do the righteous have to God?
2. How are the righteous compared to nature? What is significant about this comparison?
