in righteousness
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ב + masculine singular absolute noun צֶדֶק. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun צֶדֶק denotes the abstract quality of being just or in the right; the prefixed ב marks location or manner, yielding "in righteousness" as a state or standard within which action occurs. The singular masculine absolute form preserves the abstract quality rather than a specific act. |
