Footnotes

1. Psalm 109:10 tn Or “sons.”
2. Psalm 109:10 tn Heb “and roaming, may his children roam and beg, and seek from their ruins.” Some, following the LXX, emend the term וְדָרְשׁוּ (v^edar^eshu, “and seek”) to יְגֹרְשׁוּ (y^egor^eshu; a Pual jussive, “may they be driven away” [see Job 30:5; cf. NIV, NRSV]), but דָּרַשׁ (darash) nicely parallels שִׁאֵלוּ (shiʾelu, “and beg”) in the preceding line.
3. Psalm 109:11 tn Heb “lay snares for” (see Ps 38:12).
4. Psalm 109:11 tn Heb “the product of his labor.”
5. Psalm 109:12 tn Heb “may there not be for him one who extends loyal love.”
6. Psalm 109:12 tn Perhaps this refers to being generous (see Ps 37:21).
