⁵May all who hate Zion^(A)
    be turned back in shame.^(B)
⁶May they be like grass on the roof,^(C)
    which withers^(D) before it can grow;
⁷a reaper cannot fill his hands with it,^(E)
    nor one who gathers fill his arms.
⁸May those who pass by not say to them,
    “The blessing of the Lord be on you;
    we bless you^(F) in the name of the Lord.”
