Psalm 129:6-8
New Living Translation

6 May they be as useless as grass on a rooftop,
    turning yellow when only half grown,
7 ignored by the harvester,
    despised by the binder.
8 And may those who pass by
    refuse to give them this blessing:
“The Lord bless you;
    we bless you in the Lord’s name.”

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.”
