The righteous will blossom and bear children as a palm tree bears fruits. They will grow tall like a cedar tree in Lebanon.<sup>1</sup> They will be planted in the Holy Temple, the house of the Lord, and they will study Torah there. They will blossom in the Lord’s courtyards in the Holy Temple. They will still be fruitful when they are old; they will remain energetic and fresh. These things will tell people that the Lord is fair. He is my strength and there is no injustice in Him.
