By awesome deeds you answer us with deliverance,
O God of our salvation;
you are the hope of all the ends of the earth
and of the farthest seas.
The translator has rendered צֶ֫דֶק (tsedeq) as deliverance.
This is an uncommon translation, which is not to say inaccurate.
In and through tsedeq we experience personal fulfillment in a just community.
God's intentions and actions aim at a perfect balance of our self in relationship with others, including God.
I am honored, all are honored. I am empowered, all are empowered. My strengths support the whole community. My weakness is diffused in a strong community. I am delivered to my self, my neighbors, and my God.
Psalm 65
