David, condemning the spitefulness of Doeg, prophesies his destruction6. The righteous shall rejoice at it 8. David, upon his confidence in God's mercy, gives thanks But I am like an olive tree The olive tree is a symbol of peace, prosperity, and longevity in the Bible. In Hebrew, the word for olive tree is "זית" (zayit), which is deeply rooted in the culture and history of Israel. Olive trees are known for their resilience and ability to thrive in harsh conditions, symbolizing the psalmist's steadfastness and enduring faith. The olive tree's ability to produce fruit for many years reflects the believer's potential to bear spiritual fruit throughout their life. flourishing in the house of God I trust in the loving devotion of God forever and ever In the house of God.--Here and in the more elaborate simile (Psalm 92:13) the situation, "in the house of God," is added to show that the prophecy has come of religious trust. It is quite possible that trees were actually planted in the precincts of the Temple, as they are in the Haram area now, so that the rendering, "near the house of God," would express a literal fact. Or the whole may be figurative, as in the verse, "like the olive branches round about Thy table." Verse 8. - But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God. In conclusion, the psalmist contrasts his own condition, as one of God's people, with that of Doeg, which he had described in vers. 7-9. Doeg is about to be "plucked up" and "rooted out of the land of the living" (ver. 5); he is like a flourishing green olive tree planted in the sanctuary, or "house of God." Doeg is entirely without any trust in the Almighty (ver. 7); he declares of himself, I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever. It is questioned whether olive trees were at any time planted in the courts of either the tabernacle or the temple; but it certainly cannot be proved that they were not. In the courts of Egyptian temples trees were abundant (Herod., 2:138; Wilkinson, in the author's 'Herodotus,' vol. 2. p. 236), also probably in Phoenician temples (Perrot and Chipiez, ' Histoire de l'Art dans l'An-tiquite,' vol. 3. p. 322). And to this day there grow in the Hardin area at Jerusalem, on the site of the Jewish temple, a number of magnificent cypresses, olive, and lemon trees.Parallel Commentaries ...
