"Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne"

​

Like the unseen base of a building, righteousness and justice are

the essential, unseen pillars

that support God's entire rule and kingdom.


God's perfect moral standard,

His commitment to what is right, and His alignment

is with His own holy character.

​
God's fair, impartial, and equitable application of

His rule and judgments.

Often paired with righteousness and justice, these attributes

(loving-kindness/steadfast love and truth)

also precede His face,

showing His merciful nature alongside His justice. 


"Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne,"

emphasizing that God's rule and character

are built upon

moral perfection, fairness, truth, and steadfast love,

forming the bedrock of His governance.

This means His authority isn't arbitrary but rooted in unchanging principles,

with mercy and truth preceding His presence. 

It reveals God's unwavering character as the source

​ of all true order and goodness.

It assures that His governance, though powerful, is always just and morally sound.

It points to the ultimate fulfillment in

Jesus Christ, who perfectly embodies these principles.
