Psalm 119:17 Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word. Deal bountifully is the Hebrew word ‘gamal’גמל and means to mature, ripened fruit, and a child weaned from its mother. Gamal has the idea of being nourished until completely ripe. Hebrew is a very colorful and picturesque language and in this verse I see a motif of “maturing in God”
