Rejoicing before Him at all times, Rejoicing in the habitable part of His earth, And my delights are with the sons of men. And now, ye sons, hearken to me, Yea, happy are they who keep my ways.

For whoso is finding me, hath found life, And bringeth out good-will from Jehovah. And whoso is missing me, is wronging his soul, All hating me have loved death!
