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.”

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.”
