Deuteronomy 4:8
King James Version
7 Jun 2026
“And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?”
צַדִּיק
The blessed man is not the one who has never fallen — it is the one who knows where not to stand, not to walk, not to sit. Righteousness in the Psalms is relational — it is being in right standing with God, walking in step with Him, rooted in His word like a tree by water.
