Psalm 92:13
The psalmist repeats the word "flourish" (Hebrew parach), which can be translated as "bud," "blossom," "grow," "sprout," "fly," and "spring up." In the Old Testament, "the courts of our God" refers to God's physical Temple, an earthly symbol of His heavenly throne room. In the New Testament, the term refers now to God's church and prophetically to the time when the Father and Christ will reign on the earth (Revelation 7:15; 21:3). We should thank God, then, for "planting" us in His church where we can grow abundantly in preparation for that future time when we will work and rule with Him forever.
