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.”

    “The blessing of the Lord be on you;
    we bless you(D) in the name of the Lord.”
