Psalms 109:10

May his children ¹  roam around begging, asking for handouts as they leave their ruined home! ² 

May his children be wandering beggars; may they be driven from their ruined homes.

Let his children wander about and beg; And let them seek sustenance far from their ruined homes.

May his children wander as beggars; may they be evicted from their ruined homes.

Turn his children into begging street urchins, evicted from their homes--homeless.

Let his children be wanderers, looking to others for their food; let them be sent away from the company of their friends.

May his children wander about and beg; may they be driven out of the ruins they inhabit.

Let his children continually be vagabonds, and beg; Let them seek their bread also from their desolate places.

May his children ¹  roam around begging, asking for handouts as they leave their ruined home! ² 

¹ tn Or “sons.”

² tn Heb “and roaming, may his children roam and beg, and seek from their ruins.” Some, following the LXX, emend the term וְדָרְשׁוּ (vÿdoreshu, “and seek”) to יְגֹרְשׁוּ (yÿgoreshu; a Pual jussive, “may they be driven away” [see Job 30:5; cf. NIV, NRSV]), but דָּרַשׁ (darash) nicely parallels שִׁאֵלוּ (shi’elu, “and beg”) in the preceding line.
