Psalms 119:17

[The third Hebrew letter is: ג – gimel. The numerical value is 3. The character depicts a camel (Hebr. gamal). It often symbolizes endurance; a camel walks through the desert in heat and cold, regardless of circumstances, holding its head high and moving forward. So far, the psalm has had a positive tone, encouraging the psalmist to follow God's word. In this third section, a certain vulnerability is revealed – the psalmist sees himself as a passing traveler here in earthly life. The prayer is to be as persevering as the camel and to live according to God's commandments regardless of circumstances.]
Deal generously with your servant,
so that I may live and obey your word (Hebr. davar). [The first verb gamal is a rich word used for harvesting, weaning a child, compensating, and paying wages. It is linked to the verbs "to live" and "to obey." The words uncover and remove, in verse 22, have the same root.]
