13 The LORD looks down from Heaven, beholding all the children of men.
14 From the habitation of His dwelling he beholds all those who dwell on the Earth.
15 He fashions their hearts, every one, understanding all their works.
16 The king is not saved by the multitude of an army; nor is the mighty man delivered by great strength.
17 A horse is a vain help and shall not deliver by his great strength.
18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon those who fear Him, upon those who trust in His mercy
19 to deliver their souls from death and to preserve them in famine.
20 Our soul waits for the LORD. He is our Help and our Shield.

22 Let Your mercy, O LORD, be upon us. As we trusted in You. A Psalm of David, when he changed his behavior before Abimelech; who drove him away and he departed.
27 Now, these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.
28 Then, Haran died before Terah, his father, in the land of his nativity (in Ur of the Chaldeans).
29 So, Abram and Nahor took wives. The name of Abram’s wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor’s wife was Milcah (the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah).
30 But Sarai was barren and had no child.
31 Then Terah took Abram, his son, and Lot (the son of Haran, his son’s son), and Sarai (his daughter-in-law, his son Abram’s wife), and the departed together from Ur of the Chaldeans to go into the land of Canaan. And they came to Haran and dwelt there.
32 So, the days of Terah were two hundred and five years; and Terah died in Haran.
19 “Do not lay up treasures for yourselves on the Earth, where the moth and rust corrupt, and where thieves dig through and steal.
20 “But lay up treasures for yourselves in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust corrupts, and where thieves neither dig through nor steal.
21 “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22 “The light of the body is the eye. If then your eye is sound, your whole body shall be light.
23 “But if your eye is wicked, then all your body shall be dark. So, if the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness?
24 “No man can serve two masters. For either he shall hate the one, and love the other, or else he shall lean to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and riches.
