Psalm 97

Psalm 97:6
The heavens declare His righteousness,
And all the peoples have seen His glory.
I can understand that the people have all seen God's glory.  This is another proclamation of what we educated types call general revelation.  The very existence of the universe, much less our existence in it, points to God as the Creator.

However, it's odd to say that the heavens declare God's righteousness.  His power, sure.  His wisdom, absolutely.  But how does the universe show His righteousness?  Before the Fall, I could see that, since there was no decay.  But I'll admit, I'm not clear on the evidence now, unless it's the fact that due to our sin there is now deterioration, because God can't accept eternal corruption.
