4 The Lord is righteous;He has cut the cords of the wicked.
5 Let all those be shamedand turned back who hate Zion.
6 Let them be as the grass on the housetops,which withers before it even grows,
7 where the reaper is unable to fill his hand,or he who binds sheaves, his arms.
8 Neither do they who pass by say,“The blessing of the Lord be upon you;we bless you in the name of the Lord!”
