SIBI-P1 H982-11
he who trusts in secure confidence
| Root | בטח (b-ṭ-ḥ) |
| Core Meanings | security, confidence, reliance, feeling safe, bold trust |
| Semantic Range | to trust, feel secure, rely upon, be confident, live in safety, act boldly out of confidence |
| Conceptual Significance | בָּטַח expresses experiential trust grounded in a sense of security, often describing one who rests confidently in יהוה. It conveys covenantal reliance—living with settled assurance under divine protection rather than anxious self-dependence. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal participle, masculine singular, absolute form; functioning substantivally as "one who trusts" or "he who trusts." |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal participle masculine singular absolute is rendered as "he who trusts," preserving the verbal sense of ongoing reliance and the masculine singular form. "Secure confidence" reflects the root idea of feeling safe or secure, not merely intellectual belief but settled reliance. |
