14 They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green,
14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
14 They still bear fruit in old age; they are ever full of sap and green,
14 lithe and green, virile still in old age."
14 They shall still bear fruit in old age; They shall be fresh and flourishing,
14 Even in old age they will still produce fruit; they will remain vital and green.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 92:14
Commentary on Psalm 92:7-15
(Read Psalm 92:7-15)
God sometimes grants prosperity to wicked men in displeasure; yet they flourish but for a moment. Let us seek for ourselves the salvation and grace of the gospel, that being daily anointed by the Holy Spirit, we may behold and share the Redeemer's glory. It is from his grace, by his word and Spirit, that believers receive all the virtue that keeps them alive, and makes them fruitful. Other trees, when old, leave off bearing, but in God's trees the strength of grace does not fail with the strength of nature. The last days of the saints are sometimes their best days, and their last work their best work: perseverance is sure evidence of sincerity. And may every sabbath, while it shows forth the Divine faithfulness, find our souls resting more and more upon the Lord our righteousness.
