justice as right relationship

"When Americans consider justice it is frequently procedural; that is, we set up fair and impartial rules and whatever emerges as the end result is judged as just. In the Scriptures, justice is more an end-state. Justice is the establishment of shalom, a community of peace where right relationships are restored."

Psalm 89:14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; love and faithfulness go before you.
