Matthew 6:6-8
New International Version
6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father,(A) who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling(B) like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.(C) 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need(D) before you ask him.
Psalm 118:6-17
English Standard Version
6 (A)The Lord is on my side; (B)I will not fear.
What can man do to me?
7 (C)The Lord is on my side as my helper;
I shall (D)look in triumph on those who hate me.
8 (E)It is better to take refuge in the Lord
(F)than to trust in man.
9 It is better to take refuge in the Lord
(G)than to trust in princes.
10 (H)All nations surrounded me;
in the name of the Lord I cut them off!
11 They surrounded me, surrounded me on every side;
in the name of the Lord I cut them off!
12 (I)They surrounded me like bees;
they went out like (J)a fire among thorns;
in the name of the Lord I cut them off!
13 I was (K)pushed hard,[a] so that I was falling,
but the Lord helped me.
14 The Lord is my strength and my song;
(L)he has become my salvation.
15 Glad songs of salvation
are in the tents of the righteous:
(M)“The right hand of the Lord (N)does valiantly,
16 the right hand of the Lord exalts,
the right hand of the Lord (O)does valiantly!”
