Study note
Setting — The psalmist, in a wisdom acrostic (Psalms 111–112), describes the "man who fears the LORD" in the third person; no addressee or occasion is named.
The words — צִדְקָתוֹ (tsidqato, "his righteousness") is the same root as the righteous man of the psalm, and עֹמֶדֶת (omedet, "is standing/enduring") is a participle, marking ongoing stability rather than a single act.
The thread — Proverbs 15:6 pairs the house of the righteous with "great treasure," and Matthew 6:33 frames material provision as a consequence of seeking God's righteousness first.
Why it lands — The verse does not promise wealth as the highest good; it is the righteousness, not the riches, that "endures forever," and the reader is left to weigh which of the two they are actually pursuing.
