God is just - a Christian perspective
This verse proclaims that in all things, God is just. He is faithful in His righteousness.
http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy%2032:4&version=NIV

Unrighteous - a Christian perspective
Even though it might seem to our limited perspective that God isn't as just or righteous as the Bible teaches, we can be assured that He will ultimately bring true justice to the world, rewarding the righteous and punishing the wicked.

Justice in the Bible: Micah 6:8
The importance of justice is emphasized over and over in the Bible, but it's almost always linked to the equally important exercise of mercy. Here, we're told that God's desire for us boils down to simply practicing and loving both justice and mercy. Neither can exist without the other.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - The Chief and the Thief - #8247 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
He was known as one of the most respected Indian chiefs of his time; he had this unblemished reputation for being totally loving toward his people, but also totally just when it came to judging those who did wrong. He was troubled that someone from their village had been stealing pelts from his people. He let it be known that the thief would be tied to a stake in the middle of the village when the sun was high and beaten with twenty lashes of the whip. And then he set a trap to catch the thief.

Bruised reed in the Bible - a Christian perspective
Isaish uses the imagery of a bruised reed in chapter 42. He says that God will not break any bruised reeds or snuff out smoldering wicks. While God is seeking justice he will be faithful to those that have been injured.

Orphans in the Bible: Deuteronomy 24:17-22
Throughout the Bible, God's people are exhorted to care for the outcasts and rejected, and orphans certainly fit that description in the Biblical world. Here, the Israelites are commanded to make sure that justice is available even to the fatherless and foreigners.

Justice in the Bible: Exodus 23:1-8
This passage from Exodus emphasizes the twin aspects of justice and mercy. As we can see here, God's law in the Old Testament wasn't just about keeping people from sin. It asked people to actively work to create a just and merciful society, helping those in need and refraining from corruption and dishonesty.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - How to Get Justice When You've Been Hurt - #9177 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
I’ve seen on the news…we’ve all seen way too many times, stunned and sobbing students, holding each other tightly, trying to cope with the unthinkable that just happened—another campus shooting. This one was the largest mass shooting in U. S. history—Virginia Tech, remember, 32 people killed. One was 19-year-old Mary Read, and on the day of her funeral, her father found her little red notebook, and he read her final entry at the funeral. She said, “When a deep injury is done us, we never recover until we forgive.”
