King James Version with Apocrypha
"Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:"
— Psalms 129:6, King James Version with Apocrypha
“Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:”
“Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, Which withereth before 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.”
The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.
The Lord is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.
Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:
Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.
Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we bless you in the name of the Lord.
