Always doing what is right

The Hebrew word tsedek or sadiq appears more than 200 times in the Old Testament - sometimes describing people and sometimes describing God. It's usually translated righteous - which means living in a right way and making a choice to do what is right. 

While we as human beings can learn to make good choices, only God consistently does what is right, never getting it wrong or making a mistake. Over and over again in the Old Testament, we read, "The Lord is righteous," or, "You, Lord, are righteous."

So, only He deserves the name, Yahweh Tzaddik - the Righteous Lord.
