But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God.I trust in the steadfast love of God forever and ever. // I will thank you forever, because you have done it.I will wait for your name, for it is good, in the presence of the godly. (Psa 52:8-9)

he righteous flourish like the palm tree and grow like a cedar in Lebanon. They are planted in the house of the LORD, they flourish in the courts of our God. They still bear fruit in old age; they are ever full of sap and green to declare that the LORD is upright; He is my rock and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

Psalm 48:12-14, Walk about Zion, go around her, number her towers, consider well her ramparts, go through her citadels, that you may tell the next generation:

“This is God / Our God forever and ever / He will guide us forever.”
