Blessed are the poor in spirit
for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven
Blessed are those who mourn
for they will be comforted
Blessed are the meek
for they will inherit the earth
Blessed are those who hunger
and thirst for righteousness
Blessed are the merciful
for they will be shown mercy
Blessed are the pure in heart
for they shall see their God
Blessed are the peacemakers
for they will be called sons of God
Blessed are those who are persecuted
because of righteousness
for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven
Rejoice and be glad
for great is your reward in Heaven
