It also means justice done toward a individual. Which is counting.... considering something aright/just or wrong/unrighteous. The usage in the OT is clear on it is usd this way many times. In general it is always in response TO something. God's grace is always a response to something. GOd gives grace to the humble and resists the proud. Why? Because justice is done toward the condition. God responds in perfect justice and is judging always to respond to people in a righteous way.
