“Because of the link between righteousness and justice, the poor and oppressed could rely on the righteousness of God to uphold the justice of their cause (e.g. Pss 9:4-5; 103:6; 112:9; Isa. 11:4), and believers could trust God, in his righteousness, to protect and deliver them from their enemies (e.g. Pss 5:8; 31:1; 35:24; 71:2; 143:11).”
