Psalm 92:11-13
New English Translation
11 I gloat in triumph over those who tried to ambush me;[a]
I hear the defeated cries of the evil foes who attacked me.[b]
12 The godly[c] grow like a palm tree;
they grow high like a cedar in Lebanon.[d]
13 Planted in the Lord’s house,
they grow in the courts of our God.
