Biblically, bearing fruit is often associated with living a life that reflects God's will and produces good works (<a href="/galatians/5-22.htm">Galatians 5:22-23</a>). The imagery of fruitfulness in old age suggests a life that continues to be spiritually productive and influential. This can be seen in the lives of biblical figures like Abraham and Sarah, who were called to significant roles in their advanced years (<a href="/genesis/17-17.htm">Genesis 17:17</a>). The concept of bearing fruit in old age also aligns with the promise of longevity and blessing for those who follow God's commandments (<a href="/deuteronomy/5-33.htm">Deuteronomy 5:33</a>).<p><b>healthy and green they will remain,</b><br>The imagery of being "healthy and green" suggests vitality, strength, and resilience. In the Bible, green trees often symbolize life and prosperity (<a href="/jeremiah/17-7.htm">Jeremiah 17:7-8</a>). This phrase indicates that the righteous will not only continue to be productive but will also maintain their spiritual vigor and health. The use of "green" can also be connected to the idea of being planted by streams of water, as seen in <a href="/psalms/1-3.htm">Psalm 1:3</a>, where the righteous are compared to a tree that yields fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. This reflects a life sustained by a deep, abiding relationship with God. The promise of remaining healthy and green can be seen as a type of the eternal life and renewal found in Jesus Christ, who offers living water that leads to everlasting life (<a href="/john/4-14.htm">John 4:14</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/p/psalmist.htm">Psalmist</a></b><br>The author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/92.htm">Psalm 92</a>, traditionally attributed to David, who is expressing praise and thanksgiving to God for His faithfulness and righteousness.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/r/righteous.htm">Righteous</a></b><br>The individuals described in this verse, who are living in accordance with God's will and are blessed with continued fruitfulness even in old age.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/temple_worship.htm">Temple Worship</a></b><br>Psalm 92 is a song for the Sabbath, indicating its use in temple worship, a place where the community gathered to honor God.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/o/old_age.htm">Old Age</a></b><br>A stage of life highlighted in this verse, emphasizing the continued vitality and productivity of the righteous.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/f/flourishing.htm">Flourishing</a></b><br>The imagery of being "healthy and green" suggests a state of spiritual vitality and prosperity.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/c/continued_fruitfulness.htm">Continued Fruitfulness</a></b><br>The righteous are promised ongoing productivity and vitality, regardless of age.
