The word can mean “justice” and could refer more specifically to the principles of justice contained in the Law. In this case the phrase could be translated, “who have promoted the justice God demands.”
10 Heb “Seek what is right.”
11 Heb “Seek humility.”
12 Heb “hidden.” Cf. “it may be that you will find shelter”; “perhaps you may be hidden.”
