Outlines in Psalms

This outline is a companion to three previous outlines:  It Is A Good Thing - Psalm 92:1-15
                                                                                       To Sing Praises unto Thy Name, O Most High - Psalm 92
                                                                                       The Righteous Shall Flourish - Psalm 92:6-15

  I.  The Promise for the Righteous.

       Psalm 92:12 – “The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.”

  II.  The Planting of the Righteous.

      Psalm 92:13 – “Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.” 
      (In the context, this reveals the Biblical description that defines the character of the righteous.  The righteous
      are “those that be planted in the house of the LORD.”  As such, they flourish and grow “in the courts of our
      God” like the palm tree and like a cedar in Lebanon.)

      A.  In fellowship with the Lord.
      B.  In the ministry of the Lord.
      C.  In service to the Lord.

III.  The Product of the Righteous.

      Psalm 92:14 – “They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing.”

      A.  Fruitful – bearing spiritual fruit to the glory of God.
      B.  Fat – being spiritually healthy to the glory of God.
      C.  Flourishing – displaying spiritual beauty to the glory of God.

IV.  The Power for the Righteous.

      Psalm 92:15 – “To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.” 
      (The foundational Rock of unfailing strength in which the righteous are rooted and upon which the righteous
      grow is our perfectly upright Lord God Himself.)
