Psalm 1:3 compares a person who walks with God as a fruitful tree:
"He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither, In all that he does, he prospers." (ESV)
Such a tree can be compared to the tree of life. Lupe Wilson makes that connection in a reflection on Psalm 1, posted here. She connects Ps 1:3 with Rev 22:1-2:
"Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations."
