Psalm 129:6-8

Contemporary English Version

⁶ May they be like grass
    on the flat roof of a house,
grass that dries up
    as soon as it sprouts.
⁷ Don't let them be like wheat
    gathered in bundles.
⁸ And don't let anyone
who passes by say to them,
    “The Lord bless you!
I give you my blessing
    in the name of the Lord.”
