Proverbs 11:8
King James Version
12 Jun 2026
“The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.”
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.
