Psalm 33:20-21 

We wait in hope for the Lord; he is our help and our shield.  In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name.

NLT:  In Him our hearts rejoice for we trust in His Holy Name. 

Let your unfailing love surround us, Lord, for our hope is in you alone.

Psalm 56:3-4 

When I am afraid, I will trust in you.  In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid.  What can mortal man do to me?

NLT:  But when I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.   I praise God for what He has promised.  I trust in God, so why should I be afraid?  What can mere mortals do to me?

Matthew 6:20-21 

“But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.  For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

NLT:  Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal.   Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.
