"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven,
Blessed are the meek,
Blessed are they that mourn
Blessed are the merciful,
Blessed are they who thirst for righteousness,
Blessed are you when persecuted,
Blessed are you when you suffer.
Be glad and rejoice for your reward is great in heaven."
