Verse 1
O how blessed are the poor in spirit
Theirs is the kingdom of heaven

They'll be consoled by God

Listen to the Master's word
Soon the kingdom's coming
Watch and see the kingdom of the Lord

They all will feast with God

They surely will see God
Verse 4
O how blessed are the true peacemakers
They will be known as God's children
And how blessed those who suffer for justice
They will be honored by God
