Psalms 92:14

They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;

Ver. 14. They shall still bring forth fruit in old age] Quantumvis veteres, non veterascent, though old, yet shall they retain their former vigour and verdure, and be like that Persian tree in Theophrastus, that at the same time doth bud, blossom, and bear fruit, pullulantes et succulentae.

They shall be fat and flourishing] Vividi et vegeti (Bucholcer), not as the Brabanti or Flemings, qui quo magis senescunt, eo magis stultescunt, saith Erasmus, the elder the foolisher; nor as Trapezuntius, who outlived all his learning; but as Moses, whose sight failed not, his heat abated not; as wine, the older the better; as the sun, which shineth most amiably toward the descent.
