4The LORD is righteous; he has cut the ropes of the wicked.4But the LORD is righteous; he has cut me free from the cords of the wicked."
5Let all who hate Zion be driven back in disgrace.5May all who hate Zion be turned back in shame.
6Let them be like grass on the rooftops, which withers before it grows up6May they be like grass on the roof, which withers before it can grow;
7and can't even fill the hands of the reaper or the arms of the one who binds sheaves.7a reaper cannot fill his hands with it, nor one who gathers fill his arms.
8Then none who pass by will say, "May the LORD's blessing be on you. We bless you in the name of the LORD."8May those who pass by not say to them, "The blessing of the LORD be on you; we bless you in the name of the LORD."
