Isaiah 53:11
King James Version
9 Jun 2026
“He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.”
נֶפֶשׁ
Life, soul, living being. Nephesh. The animating breath God places in every living creature. In animals it is the life force. In humanity it is the seat of emotion, will and identity. Every nephesh belongs to God — from the creatures in the sea to the deepest cry of the human heart.

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.
