“But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever.”
Psalms 52:8 NKJV
“In verse 8, the psalm writer compares himself to an olive tree. Olive trees live a long time, and even when cut down, they sprout from the root. They symbolize people whose foundation for life is their trust in God’s love. Such people are the opposite of the wicked who have no roots (see verse 5). In what ways can you be like an olive tree, demonstrating that your foundation for life is built on your trust in God and God’s love?” Commentary by the American Bible Society.
