“Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies.”
Take away from me scorn and contempt, for I have kept your decrees. The psalmist petitions for removal of 'scorn and contempt,' framed as undeserved given his law-keeping ('have kept your decrees'). This verse suggests that the obedient experience unwarranted social marginalization.
