Although affliction will come,
Happy is the man whom God reproves!
Do not reject God's discipline.
To be happy is to avoid selfishness;
Happy are those who show mercy to others,
Especially to the poor and the needy.
Wisdom comes from God for it is God,
who gives true wisdom;
So seek wisdom for she is a tree of life.
Trusting in God is the greatest happiness,
Happiness is allowing God to direct your life,
For he knows the future.
Live according to the principles of God;
Basically love your neighbour as yourself;
This is called righteous living,
It frees us of guilt;
A guilt free life is a happy life.
