A Psalm of Work

Blame a man for idleness, yet needless toil is also a sin. Striving for vanity, and working tirelessly to be fed, is a sin.
Misfortune happens to all men. It is not their fault. 
I have chosen wisdom as my bride, and chosen wisdom as my cup. I have chosen the place at the LORD's feet.
I have pored over the evidence, and am satisfied that my God is real.
I have chosen to pursue Him, and not the world's vanities.
I have chosen peace, over strife.
I have chosen love over vanity.
Woe to the man who judges me... For I have done my work and not in vain nor secret.
I am open to the world, and the whole world sheds light upon me, saying,
"Look at this man, he is but vanity."
I shall laugh them to scorn, even false brethren who berate me.
Is it true, that a man must work to the bone, and be in perpetual toils for his mouth?
If he has no son or daughter with which to feed, no wife with which to take care of?
Why judge'st me, then, thou man? Why speak of me, "He is an idle liar?"
I speak the truth.
Does a man having spent fifteen years on labor reap no reward?
Does a man, who is not a slave, reap vanity for work they have done?
No, for I have gained wisdom above fine gold, and truth as my innermost being.
When I am gone, I will be awarded a name which does not perish.
For I, I, I have found the LORD. Selah.
