What does 'Jehovah, our righteousness' mean?

Answered in 1 source

'Jehovah, our righteousness' refers to Jesus Christ as the source of our justification before God.

'Jehovah, our righteousness' signifies that Jesus is the fulfillment of divine justice, establishing righteousness on our behalf. According to Jeremiah 23:6, He is named as such because He wholly satisfies the requirements of the law, which none other can achieve. For Christians, this means that our standing before God is not based on our righteous acts but solely on Christ's obedience and sacrifice. As believers, we are clothed in His righteousness, which gives us confidence to approach God without fear of condemnation (Romans 8:1).
