Psalms 119:22

Spare me ¹  shame and humiliation, for I observe your rules.

1Sa 25:10,39; 2Sa 16:7,8; Job 16:20; Job 19:2,3; Ps 37:3,6; Ps 39:8; Ps 42:10; Ps 68:9-11,19,20; Ps 119:39,42; Ps 123:3,4; Heb 13:13; 1Pe 2:20; 1Pe 3:16,17; 1Pe 4:14-16

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 (11QPs^a), emend the form to גֹּל (gol).
