<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew 6:1-8  (English Standard Version)<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Giving to the Needy<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

6 <\/span>\u201cBeware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 <\/sup>\u201cThus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.<\/span><\/span>3 <\/sup>But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,<\/span><\/span> 4 <\/sup>so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lord’s Prayer<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 <\/sup>\u201cAnd when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.<\/span><\/span> 6 <\/sup>But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

7 <\/sup>\u201cAnd when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words.<\/span><\/span> 8 <\/sup>Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psalm 91:1-16  (English Standard Version)<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

My Refuge and My Fortress<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

91 <\/span>He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High<\/span><\/span>
\n    <\/span>will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.<\/span><\/span>
\n2 <\/sup>I will say to the Lord<\/span>, \u201cMy refuge and my fortress,<\/span>
\n    <\/span>my God, in whom I trust.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

3 <\/sup>For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler<\/span>
\n    <\/span>and from the deadly pestilence.<\/span><\/span>
\n4 <\/sup>He will cover you with his pinions,<\/span>
\n    <\/span>and under his wings you will find refuge;<\/span><\/span>
\n    <\/span>his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.<\/span><\/span>
\n5 <\/sup>You will not fear the terror of the night,<\/span>
\n    <\/span>nor the arrow that flies by day,<\/span><\/span>
\n6 <\/sup>nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness,<\/span>
\n    <\/span>nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

7 <\/sup>A thousand may fall at your side,<\/span>
\n    <\/span>ten thousand at your right hand,<\/span><\/span>
\n    <\/span>but it will not come near you.<\/span><\/span>
\n8 <\/sup>You will only look with your eyes<\/span>
\n    <\/span>and see the recompense of the wicked.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

9 <\/sup>Because you have made the Lord<\/span> your dwelling place\u2014<\/span>
\n    <\/span>the Most High, who is my refuge\u2014<\/span><\/span>
\n10 <\/sup>no evil shall be allowed to befall you,<\/span>
\n    <\/span>no plague come near your tent.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

11 <\/sup>For he will command his angels concerning you<\/span>
\n    <\/span>to guard you in all your ways.<\/span><\/span>
\n12 <\/sup>On their hands they will bear you up,<\/span>
\n    <\/span>lest you strike your foot against a stone.<\/span><\/span>
\n13 <\/sup>You will tread on the lion and the adder;<\/span>
\n    <\/span>the young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

14 <\/sup>\u201cBecause he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him;<\/span>
\n    <\/span>I will protect him, because he knows my name.<\/span><\/span>
\n15 <\/sup>When he calls to me, I will answer him;<\/span>
\n    <\/span>I will be with him in trouble;<\/span><\/span>
\n    <\/span>I will rescue him and honor him.<\/span><\/span>
\n16 <\/sup>With long life I will satisfy him<\/span>
\n    <\/span>and show him my salvation.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
