In Traupman\'s The New College Latin & English Dictionary, Second Edition, the translations of \"adquitas\" are: \"evenness, conformity symmetry, equity, calmness\"

Almost a thousand hits of \"truth and equity\" and, as you can see in the parallel Latin English Psalter, Psalm above, the translation is \"truth and equity\"
