They tell of the splendor of Your reign and speak of Your might, declaring to humanity Your mighty deeds, and the splendor of Your majestic reign. Your reign is everlasting; Your dominion lasts in every generation. Adonai upholds all who stumble, and raises all who are bent down. The eyes of all wait in hope upon You, and You give them food in its proper time. You open Your hand, and fill with contentment all that lives. Adonai is just in all that is done, faithful toward all creation. Adonai is close to all who call, to all who call in truth.

Halleluyah!" } ], "footer": [ { "type": "Commentary", "text": "PSALM 145 (ASHREI). This psalm, which was treasured by the ancient rabbis, is recited thrice daily. It was in liturgical use during the Second Temple period, as attested by the Dead Sea Scrolls, where it appears with a congregational response attached to each verse: “Blessed is Adonai and blessed is God’s name.” Psalm 145 begins and ends with personal verses of praise. In between, the author affirms God’s sovereignty and insists that God’s rule is one of love and compassion. Two additional verses (Psalm 84:5 and 144:15), both of which begin with the word ashrei, “joyous,” were added to the opening, apparently in imitation of the Book of Psalms itself, which opens with that word. The reference to God’s house evokes those praying in the synagogue. Psalm 115:18 was appended to the end, transforming the prayer from the first-person singular to the plural, and thus creating a bridge to the five “Halleluyah” psalms that follow. Ashrei is an alphabetical acrostic—although it is missing a verse beginning with the letter nun—and thus easy to memorize, which may help to explain its popularity in Jewish liturgy. Many readers relate to individual verses more than to the literary flow of the whole poem. It is the only psalm explicitly called a t’hillah, “a song of praise,” though the entire Book of Psalms is called by the plural Sefer T’hillim." }, { "type": "Commentary", "text": "JOYOUS אַשְׁרֵי.

This verse marks a turning point in the psalm. Until now, the poet has praised God’s greatness and splendor; now, the focus shifts to God’s concern for those in need. Here, God’s sovereignty is primarily manifest in love and care." }, { "type": "Commentary", "text": "ALL THAT IS MORTAL כָּל־בָּשָׂר.
