Psalm 28New International Version (NIV)
Psalm 28
Of David.
1
To you, Lord, I call;
you are my Rock,
do not turn a deaf ear to me.
For if you remain silent,
I will be like those who go down to the pit.
2
Hear my cry for mercy
as I call to you for help,
as I lift up my hands
toward your Most Holy Place.
3
Do not drag me away with the wicked,
with those who do evil,
who speak cordially with their neighbors
but harbor malice in their hearts.
4
Repay them for their deeds
and for their evil work;
repay them for what their hands have done
and bring back on them what they deserve.
5
Because they have no regard for the deeds of the Lord
and what his hands have done,
he will tear them down
and never build them up again.
6
Praise be to the Lord,
for he has heard my cry for mercy.
7
The Lord is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.
My heart leaps for joy,
and with my song I praise him.
8
The Lord is the strength of his people,
a fortress of salvation for his anointed one.
9
Save your people and bless your inheritance;
be their shepherd and carry them forever.
Matthew 6:28-34
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
