Let them be like grass on the rooftops,
which withers before it grows up[a](A)
and can’t even fill the hands of the reaper
or the arms of the one who binds sheaves.(B)
Then none who pass by will say,
“May the Lord’s blessing be on you.”

We bless you in the name of Yahweh.(C)

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 129:6 Or it can be pulled out

May they be like grass on the roof,(A)
    which withers(B) before it can grow;
a reaper cannot fill his hands with it,(C)
    nor one who gathers fill his arms.
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.”
