American Standard Version
"Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, Which withereth before it groweth up; "
— Psalms 129:6, American Standard Version
“Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:”
“Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up;”
“May they be like the grass on the rooftops which withers before one can even pull it up,”
“From the morning watch even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord.”
“Let them be like the grass on the house-tops, which is dry before it comes to full growth.”
“Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:”
The plowers plowed upon my back; They made long their furrows.
Jehovah is righteous: He hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
Let them be put to shame and turned backward, All they that hate Zion.
Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, Which withereth before it groweth up;
Wherewith the reaper filleth not his hand, Nor he that bindeth sheaves, his bosom:
Neither do they that go by say, The blessing of Jehovah be upon you; We bless you in the name of Jehovah.
