The Righteous Man
Mr. Eduardo Martorano uses Psalm 5:1-12 to clarify the life set apart for the Christian man or woman. The psalmist David describes the way believers surrender to God, separate themselves from sin, and spot wickedness. “For you bless the righteous, O Lord; you cover him with favor as with a shield.”
