Heureux les pauvres en esprit, parce que
le royaume des cieux est à eux.

Heureux les doux, parce qu'ils posséderont la terre.

Heureux ceux qui pleurent parce qu'ils seront consolés.

Heureux ceux qui ont faim et soif de justice,
parce qu'ils seront rassasiés.

Heureux les miséricordieux,
parce qu'ils obtiendront la miséricorde.

Heureux les cœurs purs,
parce qu'ils verront Dieu.

Heureux ceux qui établissent la paix,
parce qu'ils seront nommés fils de Dieu.

Heureux ceux qui endurent la persécution à cause de la justice
parce que le royaume des cieux est à eux.
