The Righteous shall flourish, 1but how? not like the grass, but like the Palm-tree: He shall grow like a Cedar in Lebanon.
The Palm-tree is an excellent Tree, and often the praises of God are resembled by it.
This Tree grows in the purest soil: It will not grow in filthy places, in dungy places, but it loves a very pure soil.
1The Righteous are planted in Christ: they grow in Christ, and they grow in the Church; they are planted in the House of God, not in the World, the unclean polluted World, which lies in wickedness, and smells like a Dung-hill.
