Jehovah Tsidkenu (Yah-weh tsid-KAY-noo) is יְהֹוָה צִדְקֵנוּ in Hebrew. It means "the Lord our Righteousness" or "The Lord our Righteous Savior". Yhvh is Lord. Tsedeq is righteous. The suffix is what makes it our.
Jehovah Tsidkenu presents God's character as He provides His people with the gift of righteousness upon salvation. It was a promise in the Old Testament, but fulfilled by Jesus in the New Testament when Jesus took your sin upon himself. If you are Christian, then you are a part of the righteous branch held together by God. You live out your righteousness by pursuing what pleases God: relationship with Him, compassion, generosity, doing good, and satisfaction with what has been given.
When you pray using the name Jehovah Tsidkenu is in recognition of what God has done for you and the person He has created you to be. It is to honor Him with gratitude. You have to understand what righteousness is to appreciate it. Righteousness is right standing with God. You are able to start understanding as you remember that it is a gift from God that last forever. Pursue righteousness when you call out to Jehovah Tsidkenu.
Psalm 112, Proverbs 4:18-19, 15:9, Jeremiah 23:5-6, 33:15-16, & Matthew 1:20-23, 5:3-10
