But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.

Verse 8 is found in chapter 52 of Psalms. Psalm 52 denounces the destructive use of the tongue and arrogant trust in riches. The adversary boasts in deceit and violence, but the psalmist contrasts this behavior with the image of a green olive tree in God’s house. The difference is not merely wealth or poverty, but where trust is placed. The conclusion promises to publicly remember divine goodness in contrast to the apparent security of the wicked.

Und die Gerechten werden es sehen und sich fürchten und werden sein lachen:
Mas yo estoy como oliva verde en la casa de Dios: En la misericordia de Dios confío perpetua y eternalmente.
Pero yo soy como un olivo frondoso en la casa de Dios; confío en el amor leal de Dios por siempre jamás.
Et moi, je suis dans la maison de Dieu comme un olivier verdoyant, Je me confie dans la bonté de Dieu, éternellement et à jamais.
Ma io sarò come un ulivo verdeggiante nella Casa di Dio; Io mi confido nella benignità di Dio in sempiterno.
Mas eu sou como a oliveira verde na casa de Deus; confio na misericórdia de Deus para sempre, eternamente.
至於我,就像上帝殿中的青橄欖樹, 我永永遠遠倚靠上帝的慈愛。
