righteousness
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine singular absolute. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Righteousness" directly reflects the abstract noun derived from the verb צדק, preserving the core sense of being in the right or in conformity with a just standard. As a singular absolute noun, it denotes the quality or state itself rather than a specific act. |
