Salmo 90

Diante do Trono's 'Salmo 90' is a profound worship song that delves into the eternal nature of God, drawing inspiration from Psalm 90 in the Bible. The lyrics emphasize God's timeless existence, contrasting it with the fleeting nature of human life. The song opens with the imagery of mountains and the earth, symbols of stability and permanence, yet it asserts that even these were created by God, who exists from 'eternity to eternity.' This sets the stage for the central theme: God's unchanging and everlasting nature.

The song repeatedly contrasts human transience with divine constancy. Phrases like 'we are like a cloud' and 'like grass that disappears' highlight the ephemeral nature of human existence. In contrast, God is described as 'the same yesterday, today, and forever,' underscoring His unchanging essence. This juxtaposition serves to elevate the divine, reminding listeners of their dependence on an eternal and unchanging God. The repetition of 'Tu és Deus' (You are God) reinforces this message, creating a meditative and worshipful atmosphere.

The latter part of the song shifts to a more declarative tone, celebrating God's eternal reign and His role as a refuge for generations. Titles such as 'King of Kings,' 'Lord of Lords,' and 'Prince of Peace' are invoked, each carrying deep biblical significance and contributing to the portrayal of God's majesty and sovereignty. The song concludes with a call for Jesus' return, encapsulated in the word 'Maranatha,' which means 'Come, Lord Jesus.' This eschatological hope ties the song's themes of eternity and divine constancy to the Christian anticipation of Christ's second coming, making 'Salmo 90' a rich tapestry of worship, theology, and hope.
