King James Bible
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Young's Literal Translation
Happy the meek -- because they shall inherit the land.
Meek doesn't mean weak. 'Praeis' is the Greek word for meek.
Once upon a time the word MEEK characterized a person who was free of self-will, someone who wasn’t always interested in his or her own good, but was interested in the good of other people. The person painted by this view was not some obnoxious self-centered cad. Meek described the kind of person who didn’t care who got the credit as long as the job got done. A meek person was a strong person, centered enough in God that she or he could get good and angry about the way others were being treated. (Source: In Search of the Missing Praeis)
