Psalms 11:3
King James Version
10 Jun 2026
“If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?”
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.
