(א) בֶּן זוֹמָא אוֹמֵר אֵיזֶהוּ עָשִׁיר, הַשָּׂמֵחַ בְּחֶלְקוֹ, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (תהלים קכח)
(1) Ben Zoma said: Who is rich? Those who rejoice in their lot, as it is said: “You shall enjoy the fruit of your labors, you shall be happy and you shall prosper” (Psalms 128:2)
Thanks a lot, Thanks for Sun in the sky. Thanks a lot, Thanks for clouds so high.
Thanks a lot, Thanks for whispering wind. Thanks a lot, Thanks for the birds in the spring.
Thanks a lot, Thanks for the moonlit night. Thanks a lot, Thanks for the stars so bright.
Thanks a lot, Thanks for the wonder in me. Thanks a lot, Thanks for the way I feel.
Thanks for the animals, Thanks for the land, Thanks for the people everywhere.
Thanks a lot, Thanks for all I've got. Thanks for all we've got.
…[One should reflect:]
“May all be happy and secure; may all beings be happy at heart.
All living beings, whether weak or strong,
Tall, large, medium, or short, tiny or big,
Seen or unseen, near or distant,
Born or to be born, may they all be happy...”
