Psalm of the Week - 52:8 KJV- April 3, 2016

"that trees grew in the temple courts, as they grow at the present day in the Haram area, and that he (the psalmist)  compares his prosperity and security to that of the carefully tended trees planted in sacred ground. But more probably two figures are combined. He (the psalmist) is like an evergreen olive tree, while the wicked man is rooted up: he is God’s guest, enjoying His favour and protection."   Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges
