Here let me help you... What do you think Psalms 119:172 means?
It means transforming to God’s spiritual requirements of inner obedience, not conforming oneself to outward rituals, which is of the law of the letter.

Actually no. The question was what is "righteousness" God's Word defines what righteousness is in Psalms 119:172 so there is no need for guessing.

Psalms 119:172 says "My tongue shall speak of your word: for ALL YOUR COMMANDMENTS ARE RIGHTEOUSNESS".

That is all God's commandments are the very definition of what righteousness is. So obedience to Gods' commandments through faith is how righteousness is expressed. The Hebrew and Greek words for righteousness mean moral right doing. God's 10 commandments are the standard for moral right doing if obeyed and moral wrong doing if disobeyed (unrighteousness). They are how love is expressed in the Spirit of the law to both God and man and is why Jesus says in Matthew 22:36-40 "On these two great commandments of love hang all the law and the prophets.

Hope this is helpful
