God rewards: The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon. Psalm 92:12

The Psalm 92 in the Bible can be considered both a sapiential psalm and a psalm of thanksgiving. This is because it is partly a continuation of Psalm 1, the Psalm of the Two Ways, and partly a hymn praising God for the works done in the whole creation: "How spectacular are your works, O LORD! How very deep are your thoughts!" Psalm 92:5.
Thus, the Psalm allows for several spiritual analyses for Bible readers, and so, besides declaring God's wisdom and how all things were created through his expansive and progressive wisdom, the Psalm reminds us that in the face of this sapience, men have the freedom to choose between two spiritual paths: righteousness or sin. In other words, it's not that God allows evil, it's that man can choose between being edifying or chaotic and destructive. There is no underlying evil in the universe; that is why, in the face of evil and the worst situations, the Bible always leaves a glimmer of hope, and this is what Psalm 92 does.
Psalm 92 reminds us that the knowledge of God is forbidden to the wicked due to concupiscence: "This is something a fool cannot know; someone who is stupid cannot understand" Psalm 92:6. And that despite the problems created by the wicked in the world, the righteous, who know naturally what common sense is, have the divine promises assured and a glorious destiny with God: "The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon" Psalm 92:12. The Psalm is a song that emphasizes the importance of persisting with determination in the practice of the good, because the wicked are like the wild grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is cut down and burned, evil is temporary like the clouds in the sky, but God's wisdom and righteousness are eternal, teach the Psalm 92. The wicked always tempt the righteous into error, but the righteous, in the hope of receiving a final retribution, must be faithful on the spiritual path shown by the Lord.
The Psalm is ultimately a praise directed to the most perfect, but also a call to that hope that should never be forgotten, because God is wise and rewards his children.
