To shew that the LORDis upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
Those planted in the Lord's house flourish and bear lasting fruit even in old age. Their continuing fruitfulness in age reveals that the Lord is upright, that He is their Rock, and that there is no unrighteousness in Him. The purity and growth of the Christian life display this promise, and the flourishing, lasting fruit of the righteous testifies that He is secure and wholly free from unrighteousness. Their fruitful lives, with the purity, growth, and holiness worked in them by the Spirit, show His uprightness and His freedom from all unrighteousness. The cedar imagery of the surrounding context describes that purity and holiness worked in God's people by His Spirit.
He is their secure Rock, wholly free from unrighteousness, and Christ is that Rock in whom people find shelter and build their lives. Like a tree rooted deep in the earth, believers rooted and grounded in truth gain strength to withstand temptation. If the Jewish nation had trusted Him and witnessed that the Lord was their Rock and everlasting strength, Jerusalem would not have been destroyed.
