Righteousness and justice The Hebrew words for "righteousness" (צֶדֶק, tzedek) and "justice" (מִשְׁפָּט, mishpat) are foundational to the character of God as depicted throughout the Bible. "Righteousness" refers to the moral purity and ethical standards that God embodies and expects from His creation. It is a state of being right with God, aligning with His will and commands. "Justice," on the other hand, involves the fair and equitable treatment of all individuals, ensuring that everyone receives what is due to them. Together, these terms underscore the divine order and governance that God establishes, reflecting His holy nature and His desire for a world where His principles are upheld. are the foundation of Your throne loving devotion and faithfulness go before You Parallel Commentaries ...
