In this psalm, the writer states that righteous people will flourish like a tree. This flourishing will take place in God’s courtyard.

When a tree is flourishing, it is growing very well, full of fruit, and is well rooted in the ground. There is no sign of disaster, wilting, or disease. It is full of life.

Believers can flourish, even when in the middle of a great struggle. They can rooted in God and have the joy of God’s salvation, knowing that they belong to God.
