They still bear fruit in old age; they are ever full of sap and green,
This psalm teaches us to praise God because His justice and faithfulness never fail. He protects His people, destroys the wicked, and by setting aside the Sabbath for this exercise, He wisely secures us from fainting under affliction and turns us from iniquity by showing that sinners, however they prosper briefly, will swiftly perish.

Commenting on Psalm 92:1-15
They shall still bring forth fruit in old age. Nature decays but grace thrives. Fruit, as far as nature is concerned, belongs to days of vigour; but in the garden of grace, when plants are weak in themselves, they become strong in the Lord, and abound in fruit acceptable with God.
The wicked flourish like spring grass, numerous and green, yet this very prosperity is their doom, the sheep fattened for slaughter. The workers of iniquity, though they combine against God and seem to prosper in power, cannot escape His justice; who ever hardened his heart against God and prospered?
