Psalm 129:6-8

New Century Version

⁶ Let them be like the grass on the roof
    that dries up before it has grown.
⁷ There is not enough of it to fill a hand
    or to make into a bundle to fill one’s arms.
⁸ Let those who pass by them not say,
    “May the Lord bless you.
    We bless you by the power of the Lord.”
