What the...?

I was reading in 2 Nephi 9 and came across verse 46, the first part of which is really bothering me as it turns all I thought I understood about the atonement and the judgment and the gospel on its head.

"Prepare your souls for that glorious day when justice shall be administered unto the righteous, even the day of judgment..." [emphasis mine]

What? Justice to the righteous? I always understood justice to the other side of the coin to mercy. Justice has demands, and mercy satisfies those demands. Justice demands that sinners be punished, and we are all sinners. Mercy satisfies that punishment so that the righteous can besaved. Since when does justice help the righteous?

I love this thought. It kind of goes along the lines of if you're innocent and you're taken to court, you have nothing to fear because you have nothing to hide. Now, excuse me while I go repent for...you know....some things that I'm hiding.

I think it is that all the people who did bad stuff to me and never repented will finally get their punishment and I get to sit have popcorn and watch.
