4. But the Lord is righteous—God cut me free from the ropes of the wicked!
5. Let everyone who hates Zion be ashamed, thoroughly frustrated.
6. Let them be like grass on a roofthat dies before it can be pulled up,
7. which won’t fill the reaper’s handor fill the harvester’s arms.
8. Let no one who passes by say to them:"May the Lord’s blessing be on you!We bless you in the Lord’s name!"
