In Entirety, the Beatitudes

3 Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

6 Blessed are they which hunger and thirst for righteousness: for they shall be filled.

7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

10 Blessed are they which suffer persecution for righteousness’ sake; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Here’s another look from John Bunyan

And Jesus, seeing the multitudes, ascended
Up to a mount, where sitting, and attended

By his disciples, he began to preach;

And on this manner following did them teach.

Blessed are all such as are poor in spirit,

For they the heavenly kingdom do inherit.

Blessed are they that mourn; for in the stead

Thereof shall comfort be administered.

Blessed are they, whose meekness doth excel:

For on the earth their portion is to dwell.

Blessed are they, who after righteousness

Hunger and thirst; for they shall it possess.

Blessed are they, for they shall mercy find,

Who to do mercifully are inclin’d.

Blessed are all such as are pure in heart;

For God his presence shall to them impart.

Blessed are they that do make peace; for why?

They shall be call’d the sons of the Most High.

Blessed are they which suffer for the sake

Of righteousness: for they of heav’n partake.

Blessed are ye, when men shall falsely speak

All kind of ill against you for my sake,

And shall revile, and persecute you sore;

Rejoice, and be exceeding glad therefore:

For your reward in heav’n will be great:

For thus of old they did the prophets treat.
