Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 22. - Remove from me reproach and contempt. God's servants almost necessarily incur the reproach and contempt of the worldly, to whom their conduct seems folly or madness. Christ himself was "despised;" (Isaiah 53:3) and reproached (Matthew 11:19). For I have kept thy testimonies (comp. vers. 31, 51, 87, etc.).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(22) Remove.--Some render "roll," with allusion to Joshua 5:9. But it is more probably the same word as that rendered "open" in Psalm 119:18 (see Note) which may have for object the covering taken off (Isaiah 22:8; Nahum 3:5), or of the thing from which the covering is taken, as in Psalm 119:18.
