Gimel - there's a little more on Gimel here. I am working my way through the letters, and through Ruth, and now through this psalm - out of the mouth of two or three witnesses... Clearly every verse must begin with G.
| Grow your servant and I will live and keep your word | גְּמֹל עַל עַבְדְּךָ אֶחְיֶה וְאֶשְׁמְרָה דְבָרֶךָ |
| Give sight to my eyes I will see wonders in your teaching | גַּל עֵינַי וְאַבִּיטָה נִפְלָאוֹת מִתּוֹרָתֶךָ |
| Guest I am on the earth do not hide from me your commandments | גֵּר אָנֹכִי בָאָרֶץ אַל תַּסְתֵּר מִמֶּנִּי מִצְוֹתֶיךָ |
| Ground down is my being for longing for your judgments at all times | גָּרְסָה נַפְשִׁי לְתַאֲבָה אֶל מִשְׁפָּטֶיךָ בְכָל עֵת |
| Giving rebuke you have to the cursed the presumptuous those erring from your commandments | גָּעַרְתָּ זֵדִים אֲרוּרִים הַשֹּׁגִים מִמִּצְוֹתֶיךָ |
| Get from me ignominy and contempt for I have observed your testimonies | גַּל מֵעָלַי חֶרְפָּה וָבוּז כִּי עֵדֹתֶיךָ נָצָרְתִּי |
| Great princes sat - against me they spoke your servant will meditate on your statutes | גַּם יָשְׁבוּ שָׂרִים בִּי נִדְבָּרוּ עַבְדְּךָ יָשִׂיחַ בְּחֻקֶּיךָ |
| Grand are your testimonies the delights of my human counsel | גַּם עֵדֹתֶיךָ שַׁעֲשֻׁעָי אַנְשֵׁי עֲצָתִי |
