We ponder your steadfast love, O God,
in the midst of your temple.
Your name, O God, like your praise,
reaches to the ends of the earth.
Your right hand is filled with victory.
What is translated as victory is צֶ֫דֶק or tsedeq
The meaning is usually rendered as righteousness or justice.
The word appears in the Bible 119 times. This is the only translation as victory.
I'm not sure it is the best translation, but it is meaningful.
Righteousness, rightness, justice, honoring the individual are the sources of victory.
Psalm 48
