Psalm 92:12 — New Living Translation (NLT)
12 But the godly will flourish like palm trees and grow strong like the cedars of Lebanon.
There is language in our sacred scriptures for the Cedars of Lebanon as images of God’s power and majesty, God’s judgment and care, God’s cleansing and creativity. The cedars of Lebanon were chosen to build temples and palaces, their sap was believed to have healing qualities, and their ability to thrive at high altitudes in harsh terrain symbolized grit, grace, and resilience. This is the name we bear.
