Right may mean straight, just, proper, lawful, or morally upright. Scripture also uses it of a person’s right or authority and of the right hand or side.

Scripture speaks of what is right in God’s sight, right in one’s own eyes, right words and paths, and the right judgment of the Judge of all the earth. The New Testament also uses “right” for authority, as in the right to become children of God, and for the right hand or side.
