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!”
