Righteousness is from tsedaqah [H6666], meaning “rightness, rectitude, justice, virtue, or figuratively, prosperity.” “He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.” “It shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before Yehuveh our Elohim, as He hath commanded us.” “Yehuveh hath brought forth our righteousness;” “this is the heritage of the servants of Yehuveh, and their righteousness is of Me, saith Yehuveh.” Proverbs 21:21; Deuteronomy 6:25; Jeremiah 51:10; Isaiah 54:17.
Torah discusses righteousness 150 times [which can easily be researched with any exhaustive concordance], but especially consider what Psalms and Proverbs state [Psalms 5:8; 11:7; 22:31; 24:5; 31:1; 33:5; 36:6, 10; 40:10; 51:14; 69:27; 71:2, 15, 16, 19, 24; 72:1, 3; 88:12, 16; 98:16; 98:2; 99:4; 103:6, 17; 106:3, 31; 111:3; 112:3, 9; 119:40, 142; 143:1, 11; 145:7; Proverbs 8:18, 20; 10:2; 11:4, 5, 6, 18, 19; 12:28; 13:6; 14:34; 15:9; 16:8, 12, 31; 21:3, 21].
Tsedaqah is used only here in Zechariah.
