Lexicon :: Strong's H6664 - ṣeḏeq

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.

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.

“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,

“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.

“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.

“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.

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?
