Desde la eternidad a la eternidad / From Eternity, to Eternity Salmo 93 (NVI) / Psalm 93 (ILB)

El Señor reina, revestido de esplendor; el Señor se ha revestido de grandeza y ha desplegado su poder.

Ha establecido el mundo con firmeza;

jamás será removido.

Desde el principio se estableció tu trono,

y tú desde siempre has existido.

Se levantan las aguas, Señor;

se levantan las aguas con estruendo;

se levantan las aguas y sus batientes olas.

Pero el Señor, en las alturas, se muestra poderoso: más poderoso que el estruendo de las muchas aguas, más poderoso que los embates del mar.

Dignos de confianza son, Señor, tus estatutos; ¡la santidad es para siempre el adorno de tu casa!

God reigns, robed in splendor! You are robed, God, and armed with strength. The world stands firm and cannot be moved; your throne stands firm from ages past; from eternity you exist. The seas are shouting, God— the seas raise their voices; the seas shout with pounding waves. Stronger than the thunder of the great waters, mightier than the breakers of the sea, mightiest of all is God! Your reign was made known from of old; the holy ones praise you in your Temple, God, for days without end.”

We invite you to speak and sing in the language you prefer or try something new. Te invitamos a hablar y cantar en el idioma que prefieras o que intentes algo distinto.

This Week’s Mission Offering: New York Common Pantry. New York Common Pantry works toward the reduction of hunger and food insecurity through an array of programs that function to establish long-term independence for those we serve. Our whole-person approach starts with food provision through the distribution of nutritious, fresh food pantry packages in Choice Pantry and hearty balanced breakfast and dinner in the Hot Meals program. Supplemental food is provided to seniors aged 60 and older through Nourish. We then go further to address the reasons for food insecurity with case management services through the help of Help 365, which assists Pantry visitors in gaining access to resources, and Project Dignity, which connects homeless visitors to resources. The third vital element in our whole-person approach is education offered through our Live Healthy! program. Live Healthy! teaches children and adults about the importance of a nutritionally sound diet and active living, as well as provides them with the skills necessary to make healthier choices for their families.
