Psalms 129:6 in Context — Psalms 129

4 L’Éternel est juste: Il a coupé les cordes des méchants.

5 Qu’ils soient confondus et qu’ils reculent, Tous ceux qui haïssent Sion!

6 Qu’ils soient comme l’herbe des toits, Qui sèche avant qu’on l’arrache!

7 Le moissonneur n’en remplit point sa main, Celui qui lie les gerbes n’en charge point son bras,

8 Et les passants ne disent point: Que la bénédiction de l’Éternel soit sur vous! Nous vous bénissons au nom de l’Éternel!
