Psalm 129:6-8
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
6 Let them be like the grass on the housetops
that withers before it grows up,
7 with which reapers do not fill their hands
or binders of sheaves their arms,
8 while those who pass by do not say,
‘The blessing of the Lord be upon you!
We bless you in the name of the Lord!’

(B)“The blessing of the Lord be upon you;
We bless you in the name of the Lord!”
