Salmo 90: Sabiduría para la vida diaria ante la realidad de la muerte
El salmista reflexiona sobre el eterno refugio que Dios es para quienes lo siguen y la inexorable realidad de la muerte, consecuencia de nuestra maldad.Entre ambas realidades brotan la misericordia y el favor de Dios y, con ellos, nuestra esperanza de mejores días, a pesar de cómo somos nosotros y nosotras.El salmo busca la sabiduría para vivir con entrega e intensidad, para tener la oportunidad de llenar la vida de sentido al servir a Dios en los demás. Y esto con la plena confianza de que Dios ha de prosperar nuestras labores y responder a nuestro ruego.

Dwelling in the Psalms
You are invited to join the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship (CICW) in a year of dwelling in the Psalms—the prayerbook and songbook of the Bible. Together, the 150 psalms guide Christian worshipers through the full range of human emotions and experiences, making space for communities to practice praise and lament, to ask questions and find words of comfort, and so much more. Our work at CICW over the years has connected us to many people engaging in thoughtful and imaginative work around the psalms. We are eager to build on those connections and encourage more new and ancient ways to dwell in the psalms.
