For we have had our fill of humiliation, and then some. 6
1 tn Heb “roll away from upon me.” Some derive the imperatival form גַּל (gal) from גָּלָה (galah, “uncover,” as in v. 18), but here the form is from גָּלַל (galal, “roll”; see Josh 5:9, where חֶרְפָּה [kherpah, “shame; reproach”] also appears as object of the verb). Some, following the lead of a Dead Sea scroll (11QPsa), emend the form to גֹּל (gol).
2 tn Heb “carry, bear.”
3 tn Heb “on account of you.”
4 tn Heb “and shame covers my face.”
5 tn Heb “clothed.” Another option is to translate the prefixed verbal forms in this line and the next as jussives (“may my accusers be covered with shame”).
6 tn Heb “for greatly we are filled [with] humiliation.”
