Psalm 129:6-8
New King James Version
6 Let them be as the (A)grass on the housetops,
Which withers before it grows up,
7 With which the reaper does not fill his hand,
Nor he who binds sheaves, his [a]arms.
8 Neither let those who pass by them say,
(B)“The blessing of the Lord be upon you;
We bless you in the name of the Lord!”
