Psalms 119:17

Deal bountifully ... -This commences the next portion of the psalm, indicated by the letterGimel(גg), the third letter of the Hebrew alphabet, answering to our letter “g.” Each verse of this portionPsalms 119:17-24begins with this letter. There is a resemblance between the first word of this verse -גמלgemol- and the letter - “Gimel” - which commences the eight verses of this portion of the psalm. The noun (derived from the verb) -גמלgâmâl- means a camel, and the lettergimelhas been supposed to have derived its name from its having originally a resemblance to the camel’s neck. In some of the Phenician inscriptions, and in the Ethiopic alphabet, it has this form (Gesenius, “Lex”).
