Bible Verses About Jehovah Tsidkenu: 12

"In his days Judah will be saved and Israel will live in safety. This is the name by which he will be called: The Lord Our Righteous Savior."

— Jeremiah 23:6 (NIV)

People who search bible verses about Jehovah Tsidkenu want Scripture on the compound name YHWH Tsidkenu — "The Lord Our Righteousness" — not only the general righteousness or justification lists, and not sun of righteousness alone. This page is a numbered list of twelve passages with the NIV text and a short note on each. Related lists: Bible verses about righteousness, Bible verses about justification, Bible verses about salvation, Bible verses about the cross, Bible verses about Jesus, Bible verses about faith, Bible verses about hope, Bible verses about the lamb of God, and Bible verse of the day. Jehovah Tsidkenu here means the covenant Righteousness name from Jeremiah 23 and the tsedeq / righteousness-in-the-Lord lines — distinct from a full righteousness inventory alone.

Word study (lead theme). In Hebrew, יְהוָה צִדְקֵנוּ YHWH Tsidkenu (Strong's H3072; Bible Hub H3072) — "The LORD Our Righteousness." Jeremiah 23:6 names the righteous Branch by that name; Jeremiah 33:16 applies the same name to Jerusalem's safety. This list tracks that name and the righteousness-from-the-Lord vocabulary tied to God's self-revelation, not the whole righteousness catalog.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Jeremiah 23 presses that he is spoken of as The Lord our righteousness — as God, Jehovah; as Mediator, our righteousness — and that the name is sweet to a convinced sinner (Bible Hub MHC Jeremiah 23; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on Jeremiah 23). Romans later shows God's righteousness given through faith in Jesus (Bible Hub MHC Romans 3; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on Romans 3). (Righteousness and justification lists live on those pages; this list centers the Lord-Our-Righteousness name.)
