[Antiphon:] Remember your servants, Lord, when you come in your kingly power.
1 Blessed are the poor in spirit; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
2 Blessed are those who mourn; for they shall be comforted.
3 Blessed are the meek; for they shall inherit the earth.
4 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness; for they shall be satisfied.
5 Blessed are the merciful; for they shall obtain mercy.
6 Blessed are the pure in heart; for they shall see God.
7 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.
8 Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
9 Blessed are you when the world reviles you and persecutes you; and utters all kinds of evil against you falsely for my sake: Rejoice and be exceeding glad; for great is your reward in heaven.
