[19]"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal; [20]but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. [21]For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
[22]"The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light; [23]but if your eye is unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!
[24]"No one can serve two masters; for a slave will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.

Psalm 9
[1] I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart;
I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.
[2] I will be glad and exult in you;
I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
[3] When my enemies turned back,
they stumbled and perished before you.
[4] For you have maintained my just cause;
you have sat on the throne giving righteous judgment.
[5] You have rebuked the nations, you have destroyed the wicked;
you have blotted out their name forever and ever.
[6] The enemies have vanished in everlasting ruins;
their cities you have rooted out;
the very memory of them has perished.
[7] But the LORD sits enthroned forever,
he has established his throne for judgment.
[8] He judges the world with righteousness;
he judges the peoples with equity.
[9] The LORD is a stronghold for the oppressed,
a stronghold in times of trouble.
[10] And those who know your name put their trust in you,
for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.
[11 ]Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion.
Declare his deeds among the peoples.
[12] For he who avenges blood is mindful of them;
he does not forget the cry of the afflicted.
[13] Be gracious to me, O LORD.
See what I suffer from those who hate me;
you are the one who lifts me up from the gates of death,
[14] so that I may recount all your praises,
and, in the gates of daughter Zion,
rejoice in your deliverance.
[15] The nations have sunk in the pit that they made;
in the net that they hid has their own foot been caught.
[16] The LORD has made himself known, he has executed judgment;
the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands. Higgaion.
Selah
[17] The wicked shall depart to Sheol,
all the nations that forget God.
[18] For the needy shall not always be forgotten,
nor the hope of the poor perish forever.
[19] Rise up, O LORD! Do not let mortals prevail;
let the nations be judged before you.
[20] Put them in fear, O LORD;
let the nations know that they are only human. Selah
