In Psalm 119:17-24 each verse in the Hebrew language, begins the first letter of each word with the 3rd letter in the Hebrew alphabet Gimel. Gimel always represents the Camel, a camel getting up. “To lift up, or reward”.
Interestingly this was done of course by God before man thought to divide the text into chapter and verse, in the year 1445.
Psalm 119:9-16 Each of these verses begin with the second letter of the Hebrew alphabet, Bet, the House, Tent, or Family.
Psalm 119:1-8 In the original language of Hebrew, each of the verses begin with the first Hebrew letter in the Hebrew alphabet Called Alef-Bet. The letter is Alef, the Ox. First, strong, father, leader of the family.
Here is my interpretation of verses 17-24, keeping Gimel, “to lift”, “reward” or “revelation”, in mind. God either lifts up in reward or rebuke.
Vs 17 Reward bountifully and lift me up, Your servant, that I may live and keep Your Word.
Vs 18 Lift up my eyes that I may see wondrous (Gamal-revelation) things from Your law.
Vs 19 I am a foreigner (Gimel-lift me) in the earth; Do not hide your commandments from me.
Vs 20 My soul breaks (Gimel-lifted up) with longing for Your judgements at all times.
Vs 21 You rebuke (Gimel-lift up in rebuke and correction) the proud - the cursed, who stray from Your commandments.
Vs 22 Remove (Gimel - lift me) from reproach and contempt, for I have kept Your testimonies.
Vs 23 Though princes lift themselves up against me, Your servant meditates on Your Statutes.
Vs 24 Your testimonies are lifted up and are my reward, as well as my delight: and my counselors.
Blessings
