Jehovah Tsidkenu the Lord Our Righteousness

Jehovah is our righteousness
the Lord Himself is He
creator of all things existing
died for our sins on a tree

This one is all righteous
totally and fully in every way
pure unspotted from the world
our salvation He did pay

Righteousness describes our Lord
completely in His righteous shield
protecting us from the devil's darts
with His double edged sword ready to wield

Jehovah Tsidkenu our righteousness
our Lord Jesus the righteous king
imputing His righteousness alone
for that godly elect of His choosing
