prayed for righteousness.

And will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.
Psalm 71:
15 My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness
And Your salvation all the day,
For I do not know their limits.
16 I will go in the strength of the Lord God;
I will make mention of Your righteousness, of Yours only.
Then there is the endless obsessing of so many over works!
Acts 10:35 But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness
is accepted by Him.
1 John 2:29 If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who
practices righteousness is born of Him.
1 John 3:10 In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest:
Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does
not love his brother.
Third source: 50 times in Isaiah. This is how we know.
Isaiah 32:17. The work of righteousness will be peace,
And the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever.
33X Romans, 70X in Psalms, 50X Isaiah.
How can we not know what He expects of us?
Micah 6:8. He has shown you, O man, what is good;
And what does the Lord require of you
But to do justly,
To love mercy,
And to walk humbly with your God?
