Psalm 119:22
“Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 119Meaning
Gimel (vv.17–24) places social shame and contempt before God rather than answering humiliation with retaliation.

The verse concerns contempt amid faithfulness and does not exempt anyone from correction or accountability.
Reflection
Seek truthful vindication without returning contempt for contempt.
