Proverbs 12:26
King James Version
8 Jun 2026
“The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them.”
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.
