Psalms 72:7
King James Version
9 Jun 2026
“In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.”

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.
