Aber die Elenden werden das Land erben und Lust haben in großem Frieden.
Pero los mansos heredarán la tierra, Y se recrearán con abundancia de paz.
Pero los humildes heredarán la tierra y se deleitarán en abundante paz.
Les misérables possèdent le pays, Et ils jouissent abondamment de la paix.
Ma i mansueti possederanno la terra, E gioiranno in gran pace.
Mas os mansos herdarão a terra, e se deleitarão na abundância de paz.
但謙卑的人必承受土地, 以豐盛的平安為樂。
