Psalms 129:7 - Compare All Versions

Share

a reaper cannot fill his hands with it, nor one who gathers fill his arms.

with which the reaper does not fill his hand nor the binder of sheaves his arms

ignored by the harvester, despised by the binder.

and can’t even fill the hands of the reaper or the arms of the one who binds sheaves.

Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; Nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

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

Oh, let all those who hate Zion grovel in humiliation; Let them be like grass in shallow ground that withers before the harvest, Before the farmhands can gather it in, the harvesters get in the crop, Before the neighbors have a chance to call out, “Congratulations on your wonderful crop! We bless you in GOD’s name!”

With which the harvester does not fill his hand, Or the binder of sheaves his arms

With which the reaper does not fill his hand, Nor the binder of sheaves his arms

which cannot fill the reaper’s hand, or the lap of the one who gathers the grain!
