justice and righteousness

Of the 134 NIV verses with the word "justice", I found 26 scriptures that had "justice" and "righteousness" tied together in the same sentence.

"..in his justice and righteousness, he does not oppress." "The Lord loves righteousness and justice..." "The Lord works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed."

I tend to think about biblical justice in terms of righteousness, rightness, setting things right. God's Spirit is at work to set things right on earth through Jesus Christ. And in God's plan to set things right, He calls his followers into the plan.

How do you define or most often think of biblical justice?
