Psalms 109:10 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.

Let his children be continually vagabonds - (Psalms 59:11; Psalms 59:15.)

And beg - in contrast to the provision for the righteous (Psalms 37:25).

Let them seek (their bread) also out of their desolate places - where only starvation stares them in the face, amidst the ruins of what were once their richly-supplied mansions. Maurer translates, 'far from [so min (H4480) is sometimes used] their own desolated homes,' which the parallel favours, because it represents them as not near their own original homes, but "continually vagabonds."
