Better one handful with tranquility than two handfuls with toil and chasing after the wind.

Psalm 34
I bless God every chance I get; my lungs expand with His praise.
I live and breathe God;
if things aren't going well, hear this and be happy:
Join me in spreading the news;
together let's get the word out.
God met me more than halfway,
He freed me from my anxious fears.
Look at Him; give Him your warmest smile.
Never hide your feelings from Him.
When I was desperate, I called out,
and God got me out of a tight spot.
God's angel sets up a circle
of protection around us while we pray.
Open your mouth and taste, open your eyes and see -
how good God is.
Blessed are you who run to Him.
Worship God if you want the best;
worship opens doors to all His goodness.
Young lions on the prowl get hungry,
but God-seekers are full of God.
Come, children, listen closely;
I'll give you a lesson in God worship.
Who out there has a lust for life?
Can't wait each day to come upon beauty?
Guard your tongue from profanity,
and no more lying through your teeth.
Turn your back on sin; do something good.
Embrace peace - don't let it get away!
God keeps an eye on His friends,
His ears pick up every moan and groan.
God won't put up with rebels;
He'll cull them from the pack.
Is anyone crying for help? God is listening,
ready to rescue you.
If your heart is broken, you'll find God right there;
if you're kicked in the guy, He'll help you catch your breath.
Disciples so often get into trouble;
still, God is there every time.
He's your bodyguard, shielding every bone;
not even a finger gets broken.
The wicked commit slow suicide;
they waste their lives hating the good.
God pays for each slave's freedom;
no one who runs to Him loses out.
13:23
