Lexicon :: Strong's H6664 - ṣeḏeq

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

She who was full ^H4392 of justice ^H4941!

Righteousness ^H6664 once dwelt ^H3885 in her,

But now ^H6258 murderers ^H7523.

“Then I will restore ^H7725 your judges ^H8199 as at first ^H7223,

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

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

A faithful ^H539 city ^H7151.”

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

And decide ^H3198 with fairness ^H4334 for the humble ^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 slay ^H4191 the wicked ^H7563.

A throne ^H3678 will be established ^H3559 in faithfulness ^H2617,

And a judge ^H8199 will sit ^H3427 on it in trustworthiness ^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 diligently ^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 officials ^H8269 will rule ^H8323 justly ^H4941.

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

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

He turns ^H5414 nations ^H1471 over ^H5414 H6440 to him

And subdues ^H7287 kings ^H4428.

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

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

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

Do not be ^H8159 afraid ^H8159, for I am your God ^H430.

I will strengthen ^H553 you, I will also ^H637 help ^H5826 you,

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

“I am the LORD ^H3068, I have called ^H7121 You in righteousness ^H6664,

I will also hold ^H2388 You by the hand ^H3027 and watch ^H5341 over You,

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

As a light ^H216 to the nations ^H1471,

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

To make ^H1431 the Law ^H8451 great ^H1431 and glorious ^H142.

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

And let the clouds ^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 sprout ^H6779 with it.

I, the LORD ^H3068, have created ^H1254 it.

“I have stirred ^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 let ^H7971 My exiles ^H1546 go ^H7971 free ^H7971,

Without ^H3808 any payment ^H4242 or reward ^H7810,” says ^H559 the LORD ^H3068 of armies ^H6635.

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

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

I did not say ^H559 to the [fn]offspring ^H2233 of Jacob ^H3290,

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

I, the LORD ^H3068, speak ^H1696 righteousness ^H6664,

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

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

Who seek ^H1245 the LORD ^H3068:

Look ^H5027 to the rock ^H6697 from which you were cut ^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 wait ^H6960 for Me,

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

“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 taunting ^H2781 of [fn]people ^H582,

Nor ^H408 be terrified ^H2865 of their abuses ^H1421.

“Yet they seek ^H1875 Me day ^H3117 by day ^H3117 and delight ^H2654 to know ^H1847 My ways ^H1870,

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

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

They ask ^H7592 Me for just ^H6664 decisions ^H4941,

They delight ^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 spring ^H6779 up ^H6779 quickly ^H4120;

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

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

No ^H369 one ^H369 sues ^H7121 righteously ^H6664 and no ^H369 one ^H369 pleads ^H8199 [fn]honestly ^H530.

They trust ^H982 in confusion ^H8414 and speak ^H1696 lies ^H7723;

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

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

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

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

The cloak ^H4594 of praise ^H8416 instead ^H8478 of ^H8478 a disheartened ^H3544 spirit ^H7307.

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

The planting ^H4302 of the LORD ^H3068, that He may be glorified ^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 in doing ^H6213 righteousness ^H6664,

Who remembers ^H2142 You in Your ways ^H1870.

Behold ^H2005, You were ^H7107 angry ^H7107, for we sinned ^H2398,

We continued in [fn]our sins for a long ^H5769 time ^H5769;

Yet shall we be saved ^H3467?
