Mazmur 119:22

119:22 Spare me ¹  shame and humiliation,

for I observe your rules.

Mazmur 69:10

69:10 I weep and refrain from eating food, ² 

which causes others to insult me. ³ 

[119:22]  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).

[69:10]  ² sn Fasting was a practice of mourners. By refraining from normal activities such as eating food, the mourner demonstrated the sincerity of his sorrow.

[69:10]  ³ tn Heb “and it becomes insults to me.”
