God's Saving Righteousness
Commentators explain that "righteousness" here does not refer to a human moral standard, but to God's own character in action. It signifies His faithfulness to His promises and His power to deliver His people. Scholars like John Gill and Matthew Henry see this as pointing directly to the righteousness of Christ, which is brought near and given to believers for their salvation.
