TSEH-dek

righteousness, rightness

Where it comes from

Less about private moral purity than about relationships being as they should be. To be righteous in Hebrew is to be right with people, not only right in yourself.

Psalm 85:10

Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
