The easiest/fastest way is to simply apply an image to a text using masks:

• Start by inserting an image you want to use as background for the text;

• Add the text with the Text Tool;

• Apply the image to the text as a mask (place the image layer on top of the text layer, and use Alt + Click in the space between the layers).
