Lexicon :: Strong's H6664 - ṣeḏeq

I shall give ^H3034 thanks ^H3034 to You with uprightness ^H3476 of heart ^H3824,

When I learn ^H3925 Your righteous ^H6664 judgments ^H4941.

At midnight ^H2676 H3915 I shall rise ^H6965 to give ^H3034 thanks ^H3034 to You

Because ^H5921 of Your righteous ^H6664 judgments ^H4941.

I know ^H3045, O Yahweh ^H3068, that Your judgments ^H4941 are righteous ^H6664,

And that in faithfulness ^H530 You have afflicted ^H6031 me.

I have sworn ^H7650 and I have confirmed ^H6965,

To keep ^H8104 Your righteous ^H6664 judgments ^H4941.

Ayin

I have done ^H6213 justice ^H4941 and righteousness ^H6664;

Do not leave ^H5117 me to my oppressors ^H6231.

My eyes ^H5869 fail ^H3615 with longing for Your salvation ^H3444

And for Your righteous ^H6664 [fn]word ^H565.

In righteousness ^H6664, You have commanded ^H6680 Your testimonies ^H5713

And in exceeding ^H3966 faithfulness ^H530.

Your righteousness ^H6666 is an everlasting ^H5769 righteousness ^H6664,

And Your law ^H8451 is truth ^H571.

Righteous ^H6664 are Your testimonies ^H5715 forever ^H5769;

Give ^H995 me understanding ^H995 that I may live ^H2421.

The sum ^H7218 of Your word ^H1697 is truth ^H571,

And every ^H3605 one ^H3605 of Your righteous ^H6664 judgments ^H4941 is everlasting ^H5769.

Seven ^H7651 times ^H7651 a day ^H3117 I praise ^H1984 You,

Because ^H5921 of Your righteous ^H6664 judgments ^H4941.

Let my tongue ^H3956 answer ^H6030 with Your [fn]word ^H565,

For all ^H3605 Your commandments ^H4687 are righteous ^H6664.

Let Your priests ^H3548 be clothed ^H3847 with righteousness ^H6664,

And let Your holy ^H2623 ones ^H2623 sing ^H7442 for ^H7442 joy ^H7442.

To receive ^H3947 discipline ^H4148 [fn]that leads to insight ^H7919,

Righteousness ^H6664, justice ^H4941, and equity ^H4339,

Then ^H227 you will understand ^H995 righteousness ^H6664 and justice ^H4941

And equity ^H4339—every ^H3605 good ^H2896 track ^H4570.

“All ^H3605 the words ^H561 of my mouth ^H6310 are in righteousness ^H6664;

There ^H369 is ^H369 nothing ^H369 twisted ^H6617 or crooked ^H6141 in them.

“By me kings ^H4428 reign ^H4427,

And rulers ^H7336 mark ^H2710 out ^H2710 righteousness ^H6664.

He who breathes ^H6315 out truth ^H530 declares ^H5046 what ^H6664 is ^H6664 right ^H6664,

But a false ^H8267 witness ^H5707, deceit ^H4820.

Righteous ^H6664 lips ^H8193 are the delight ^H7522 of kings ^H4428,

And he who speaks ^H1696 uprightly ^H3477 is loved ^H157.

Take ^H1898 away ^H1898 the wicked ^H7563 before ^H6440 the king ^H4428,

And his throne ^H3678 will be established ^H3559 in righteousness ^H6664.

Open ^H6605 your mouth ^H6310, judge ^H8199 righteously ^H6664,

And render ^H1777 justice ^H1779 to the afflicted ^H6041 and needy ^H34.

Furthermore ^H5750, I have seen ^H7200 under ^H8478 the sun ^H8121 that in ^H8478 the place ^H4725 of justice ^H4941 there ^H8033 is wickedness ^H7562, and in the place ^H4725 of righteousness ^H6664 there ^H8033 is wickedness ^H7562.

If ^H518 you see ^H7200 oppression ^H6233 of the poor ^H7326 and robbery ^H1498 of justice ^H4941 and righteousness ^H6664 in the province ^H4082, do not be ^H8539 astonished ^H8539 over the [fn]matter ^H2656; for a lofty ^H1364 one keeps ^H8104 watch ^H8104 over ^H4480 H5921 another lofty ^H1364 one, and there are loftier ^H1364 ones ^H1364 over ^H5921 them.

I have seen ^H7200 everything ^H3605 during my days ^H3117 of vanity ^H1892; there ^H3426 is ^H3426 a righteous ^H6662 man ^H6662 who perishes ^H6 in his righteousness ^H6664, and there ^H3426 is ^H3426 a wicked ^H7563 man ^H7563 who prolongs ^H748 his life in his evildoing ^H7451.

How ^H351 the faithful ^H539 city ^H7151 has become ^H1961 a harlot ^H2181,

She who was full ^H4392 of justice ^H4941!

Righteousness ^H6664 once lodged ^H3885 in her,

But now ^H6258 murderers ^H7523.

“Then I will have ^H7725 your judges ^H8199 return ^H7725 as at the first ^H7223,

And your counselors ^H3289 as at the beginning ^H8462;

Afterwards ^H310 you will be called ^H7121 the city ^H5892 of righteousness ^H6664,

A faithful ^H539 town ^H7151.”

But with righteousness ^H6664 He will judge ^H8199 the poor ^H1800,

And decide ^H3198 with uprightness ^H4334 for the afflicted ^H6035 of the earth ^H776;

And He will strike ^H5221 the earth ^H776 with the rod ^H7626 of His mouth ^H6310,

And with the breath ^H7307 of His lips ^H8193 He will put ^H4191 the wicked ^H7563 to ^H4191 death ^H4191.

And a throne ^H3678 will be established ^H3559 in lovingkindness ^H2617,

And a judge ^H8199 will sit ^H3427 on it in truth ^H571 in the tent ^H168 of David ^H1732;

Moreover, he will seek ^H1875 justice ^H4941

And be prompt ^H4106 in righteousness ^H6664.

At night ^H3915 [fn]my soul ^H5315 longs ^H183 for You,

Indeed ^H637, [fn]my spirit ^H7307 within ^H7130 me seeks ^H7836 You earnestly ^H7836;

For when ^H834 the earth ^H776 [fn]experiences Your judgments ^H4941,

The inhabitants ^H3427 of the world ^H8398 learn ^H3925 righteousness ^H6664.

Behold ^H2005, a king ^H4428 will reign ^H4427 righteously ^H6664

And princes ^H8269 will rule ^H8323 justly ^H4941.

“Who ^H4310 has awakened ^H5782 one from the east ^H4217

Whom He calls ^H7121 in righteousness ^H6664 to His [fn]feet ^H7272?

He gives ^H5414 up ^H5414 nations ^H1471 before ^H6440 him

And [fn]has dominion ^H7287 over kings ^H4428.

He makes ^H5414 them like dust ^H6083 with his sword ^H2719,

As the wind-driven chaff ^H7179 with his bow ^H7198.

‘Do not fear ^H3372, for I am with you;

Do not anxiously look ^H8159 about you, for I am your God ^H430.

I will make ^H553 you mighty ^H553, surely ^H637 I will help ^H5826 you;

Surely ^H637 I will uphold ^H8551 you with My righteous ^H6664 right ^H3225 hand ^H3225.’

“I am Yahweh ^H3068, I have called ^H7121 You in ^H7121 righteousness ^H6664;

I will also take ^H2388 hold ^H2388 of You by the hand ^H3027 and guard ^H5341 You,

And I will give ^H5414 You as a covenant ^H1285 to the people ^H5971,

As a light ^H216 to the nations ^H1471,

Yahweh ^H3068 was pleased ^H2654 for His righteousness’ ^H6664 sake ^H4616

That He make ^H1431 the law ^H8451 great ^H1431 and majestic ^H142.

“Drip ^H7491 down ^H7491, O heavens ^H8064, from above ^H4605,

And let the skies ^H7834 pour ^H5140 down ^H5140 righteousness ^H6664;

Let the earth ^H776 open ^H6605 up ^H6605 and salvation ^H3468 bear ^H6509 fruit ^H6509,

And righteousness ^H6666 [fn]spring ^H6779 up ^H6779 with it.

I, Yahweh ^H3068, have created ^H1254 it.

“I have awakened ^H5782 him in righteousness ^H6664,

And I will make ^H3474 all ^H3605 his ways ^H1870 smooth ^H3474;

He will build ^H1129 My city ^H5892 and will let ^H7971 My exiles ^H1546 go ^H7971,

Without ^H3808 any payment ^H4242 or reward ^H7810,” says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635.

“I have not spoken ^H1696 in secret ^H5643,

In [fn]some ^H4725 dark ^H2822 land ^H776;

I did not say ^H559 to the seed ^H2233 of Jacob ^H3290,

‘Seek ^H1245 Me in [fn]a formless ^H8414 place ^H8414’;

I, Yahweh ^H3068, speak ^H1696 righteousness ^H6664,

Declaring ^H5046 things ^H4339 that ^H4339 are ^H4339 upright ^H4339.

“Listen ^H8085 to Me, you who pursue ^H7291 righteousness ^H6664,

Who seek ^H1245 Yahweh ^H3068:

Look ^H5027 to the rock ^H6697 from which you were hewn ^H2672

And to the [fn]quarry ^H953 H4718 from which you were dug ^H5365.

“My righteousness ^H6664 is near ^H7138, My salvation ^H3468 has gone ^H3318 forth ^H3318,

And My arms ^H2220 will judge ^H8199 the peoples ^H5971;

The coastlands ^H339 will hope ^H6960 in Me,

And for My arm ^H2220 they will wait ^H3176 expectantly ^H3176.

“Listen ^H8085 to Me, you who know ^H3045 righteousness ^H6664,

A people ^H5971 in whose heart ^H3820 is My law ^H8451;

Do not fear ^H3372 the reproach ^H2781 of man ^H582,

Nor ^H408 be dismayed ^H2865 at their revilings ^H1421.

“Yet they seek ^H1875 Me day ^H3117 by day ^H3117 and find ^H2654 pleasure ^H2654 in knowing ^H1847 My ways ^H1870,

As a nation ^H1471 that has done ^H6213 righteousness ^H6666

And has not forsaken ^H5800 the judgment ^H4941 of their God ^H430.

They ask ^H7592 Me for righteous ^H6664 judgments ^H4941;

They find ^H2654 pleasure ^H2654 in the nearness ^H7132 of God ^H430.

“Then ^H227 your light ^H216 will break ^H1234 out ^H1234 like the dawn ^H7837,

And your recovery ^H724 will speedily ^H4120 spring ^H6779 forth ^H6779;

And your righteousness ^H6664 will go ^H1980 before ^H6440 you;

The glory ^H3519 of Yahweh ^H3068 will be your rear ^H622 guard ^H622.

No ^H369 one ^H369 calls ^H7121 in ^H7121 righteousness ^H6664, and no ^H369 one ^H369 seeks justice ^H8199 in truth ^H530.

They trust ^H982 in [fn]confusion ^H8414 and speak ^H1696 worthlessness ^H7723;

They conceive ^H2029 trouble ^H5999 and give ^H3205 birth ^H3205 to wickedness ^H205.

To grant ^H7760 those who mourn ^H57 in Zion ^H6726,

Giving ^H5414 them a headdress ^H6287 instead ^H8478 of ^H8478 ashes ^H665,

The oil ^H8081 of rejoicing ^H8342 instead ^H8478 of ^H8478 mourning ^H60,

The mantle ^H4594 of praise ^H8416 instead ^H8478 of ^H8478 a spirit ^H7307 of fainting ^H3544.

So they will be called ^H7121 [fn]oaks ^H352 of righteousness ^H6664,

The planting ^H4302 of Yahweh ^H3068, that He may show ^H6286 forth His beautiful ^H6286 glory ^H6286.

For Zion’s ^H6726 sake ^H4616 I will not keep ^H2814 silent ^H2814,

And for Jerusalem’s ^H3389 sake ^H4616 I will not keep ^H8252 quiet ^H8252,

Until ^H5704 her righteousness ^H6664 goes ^H3318 forth ^H3318 like brightness ^H5051,

And her salvation ^H3444 like a torch ^H3940 that is burning ^H1197.

You meet ^H6293 him who rejoices ^H7797 and does ^H6213 righteousness ^H6664,

Who remembers ^H2142 You in Your ways ^H1870.

Behold ^H2005, You were ^H7107 angry ^H7107; indeed we have sinned ^H2398—

We continued in them a long ^H5769 time ^H5769—

And shall we be saved ^H3467?
