Happiness does not come to
those who receive lavish praise,
nor to stubborn heifers, and
not to those who sit undecided.
Happy are those whose
strength is in you, O God,
in whose heart are the
highways to your kingdom.
Make us seekers of this
kind of happiness,
for we call on the
name of Jesus Christ.
