Tsadaq is the verb behind tsedeq (righteousness) — to be just or to declare just. The Old Testament uses it both for being righteous and, judicially, for declaring someone righteous in a courtroom.

Paul’s Greek dikaioō (to justify) translates this Hebrew sense. God’s great surprise in the gospel is that he can “justify” the sinful — declare them just — on the basis of Christ, without compromising his own justice.
