Psalms 119:22

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

Remove from me scorn and contempt, for I keep your statutes.

Take away reproach and contempt from me, For I observe Your testimonies.

Don’t let them scorn and insult me, for I have obeyed your decrees.

Don't let them mock and humiliate me; I've been careful to do just what you said.

Take away from me shame and bitter words; for I have kept your unchanging word in my heart.

take away from me their scorn and contempt, for I have kept your decrees.

Remove from me reproach and contempt, For I have kept Your testimonies.

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

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).
