Mazmur 109:10

109:10 May his children ¹  roam around begging,

asking for handouts as they leave their ruined home! ² 

Mazmur 147:2

147:2 The Lord rebuilds Jerusalem, ³ 

and gathers the exiles of Israel.

[109:10]  ¹ tn Or “sons.”

[109:10]  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.
