Psalm 129:6-8
American Standard Version

6 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops,
Which withereth before it [a]groweth up;
7 Wherewith the reaper filleth not his hand,
Nor he that bindeth sheaves, his bosom:
8 Neither do they that go by say,
The blessing of Jehovah be upon you;
We bless you in the name of Jehovah.

Psalm 129:6-8
New International Version

6 May they be like grass on the roof,(A)
    which withers(B) before it can grow;
7 a reaper cannot fill his hands with it,(C)
    nor one who gathers fill his arms.
8 May those who pass by not say to them,
    “The blessing of the Lord be on you;
    we bless you(D) in the name of the Lord.”
