Contradiction with Psalm 146:3

Paradox #1

Some people see a contradiction in the name used in this verse, "The Lord Our Righteousness," because they think it only refers to God. But this name is also applied to a future king from David's line, which could be seen as inconsistent since it combines divine and human roles. This has led to debates about whether it refers to a human leader, like a king, or a divine figure.
