Psalms 129:7-8

129:7 which cannot fill the reaper’s hand,

or the lap of the one who gathers the grain!

129:8 Those who pass by will not say, ¹ 

“May you experience the Lord’s blessing!

We pronounce a blessing on you in the name of the Lord.”

[129:8]  ¹ tn The perfect verbal form is used for rhetorical effect; it describes an anticipated development as if it were already reality.
