Psalm 129:6-8
Good News Translation

6 May they all be like grass growing on the housetops,
    which dries up before it can grow;
7     no one gathers it up
    or carries it away in bundles.
8 No one who passes by will say,
    “May the Lord bless you!
    We bless you 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.”
