Psalm 129:5-8

English Standard Version

⁵ May all who hate Zion
    be ^(A)put to shame and turned backward!
⁶ Let them be like ^(B)the grass on the housetops,
    which ^(C)withers before it grows up,
⁷ with which the reaper does not fill his hand
    nor the binder of sheaves his arms,
⁸ nor do those who pass by say,
    ^(D)“The blessing of the Lord be upon you!
    We ^(E)bless you in the name of the Lord!”
