AllRejoice and be glad
for you are the light of the world,
and great is your reward in heaven.

for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
2Blessed are those who
mourn, •
for they shall be comforted.
3Blessed are the meek,
•
for they shall inherit the earth.

hunger
and thirst after righteousness, •
for they shall be satisfied.

•
for they shall obtain mercy.
6Blessed are the pure
in heart, •
for they shall see God.
7Blessed are the peacemakers,
•
for they shall be called children of God.
8Blessed are those who
suffer persecution
for righteousness’ sake, •
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
