v. 5 – Although "privilege" is not a common gloss of צְדָקָה, in the present context, both צְדָקָה and the preceding בְּרָכָה result in a person's permission to enter YHWH's presence: "The person who is 'conferred' with integrity automatically becomes part of the 'community of his seekers'" (Spangenberg 2011, 751). See further the Venn diagrams, which compare both justice and privilege for צְדָקָה.
