I was just studying this a few days ago. Only God possess true, unadulterated righteousness. He is absolutely pure and free of sin. He is completely separated from any evil. He is always true to Who he is essentially and constitutionally.
No human other than Jesus is righteous of their own merit. Jesus alone lived a perfect human life as the God/Man. He obeyed the Father always. He never sinned. He never had a wayward thought, or unloving impulse or motive. He never said a sinful word or gave a sinful "look" or mannerism. Because of this perfect life lived by the 'Son of God and Son of Man, He was the perfect One to sacrifice His own life as a propitiation for the sins of the whole earth. His death and resurrection accomplished for us a righteousness we can possess through Jesus in which we are seen as morally perfect as Jesus is before the Father and can approach Him. This righteousness is Jesus' righteousness imputed to every believer. It is 100% His righteousness that we obtain with 0% moral goodness from any believer.
Every "good' that any believer does is tainted with our sinful nature. They are unacceptable to God, because He requires perfect good to come before Him and not be consumed by His wrath towards sin. This is why believing that all that is acceptable to God is all of what Jesus did. This does not mean that we should not wish to be obedient to God and love one another in our lives as believers. The Holy Spirit is our sanctifier. We humbly rely on the Holy Spirit to help us do the works God has ordained for us to do in His power, grace, and goodness. The Holy Spirit will continue to sanctify us in this life so that we become more and more like Jesus in His humanity. But we can never be as pure as God. he is infinitely pure.
In the life that follows our physical death, we will shed our sinful nature from our souls and spirit. When we are bodily resurrected we will no longer have any sinful nature in our new fleshly bodies.
According to this chapter, "Upright" = "Righteous", so my question was, where in the Bible can I read what righteousness is? Is there a scripture or scripture passage that tells me or defines what it is? I can tell in this short chapter that wickedness is the opposite of righteousness, this helps in over all context understanding.
Talking about Jesus is all fine and dandy, but Jesus was not around when David wrote this chapter so righteousness was around before the birth of Christ. Would like to know cause verse 11 says the LORD loves righteousness so I would think it would be best to know what that is?
The Just, lawful, righteous man, who are in the right
Psalms 11:5 The LORD trieth/tests a righteous one: is referring to a righteous man, his soul. And tests the lawless one and him that loveth violence He hateth.

Why does God test the Just/righteous!
