Psalms 129:6 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Psalms 129:6

4 The Lord is righteous;
He has cut in pieces the cords of the wicked.

5 Let all those who hate Zion
Be put to shame and turned back.

6 Let them be as the ^agrass on the housetops,
Which withers before it grows up,

7 With which the reaper does not fill his hand,
Nor he who binds sheaves, his¹ arms.

8 Neither let those who pass by them say,
^a“The blessing of the Lord be upon you;
We bless you in the name of the Lord!”

Psalms 129:5-6

The ill-rooted roof grass, which withers before it grows up and procures for those gathering it no harvest blessing (Ruth 2:4), sets forth the utter uselessness and the rejection of the wicked.
