Jehovah-Tsidkenu
יְהוָה צִדְקֵנוּ
The LORD our righteousness
Symbol: The balanced scales — a verdict settled in your favour
“This is the name by which he will be called: Jehovah-Tsidkenu — The LORD Our Righteous Savior.”
Jeremiah 23:6
The name that ends striving. Your standing before God is not manufactured by your performance; it is given by His name.
What the name means
Tsedek means straightness, rightness — a life in true alignment. We could not produce it, so God became it for us.
Jeremiah spoke this name over a nation in ruins: righteousness arrives as a gift, not a reward for recovery.
2 Corinthians 5:21 is its fulfilment — He became sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
How to pray this name
- Pray it against shame and accusation.
- Begin intercession here: you approach the throne clothed in His righteousness, not yours.
Jehovah-Tsidkenu, You are my righteousness. I stop striving for a standing You already purchased for me. In the Mighty Name of Jesus! Amen.
Declaration
I am the righteousness of God in Christ — accepted, not because of me, but because of Him.
