5:4  Blessed {See V.3}  are those who mourn, (3996-Lament, sorrow over sin. Remorseful, contrite, penitent, grief-stricken, deep anguish, godly sorrow.) for they will be comforted. (Expresses to be consoled here and now by the promises of God’s love, grace, and forgiveness as held out in the Gospel. Or the peace in the presence of the Holy Spirit in removing the guilt.)
