 how do you pronounce "blessed" -like in "blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus..."?

is it pronounce with an 'ed' sound or with a 't' sound?

Hey,

in this case I'd pronounce it like BLEssed (ed). However, if I'm using the verb to bless in the past I'd pronounce it like blest.

“blessed are you among women”
bless - id is the pronunciation for this adjectival use.  (Not blest.)
