The Psalmist speaks of dealing bountifully. This means to reward we sometimes have our eyes closed to the wonderful things given and we forget to be thankful. He protects or nurture us until we grow up to protect us.
The word gimel is related to gemul, which means 'justified repayment', or the giving of reward and punishment. Gimel is also one of the seven letters which receive special crowns (called tagin) when written in a Sefer Torah.
In the Greek and Hebrew alphabets, the letter which corresponds to /g/ is the third one, whereas in the Latin alphabet it is the seventh. ... The letter ג (ghimel) is cognate with גמל (gamol), which means “to nurture until it is grown up.

I love how the Father understands our growth cycle.
He nurtures us until we grow up/mature in Him.

The next letter of the Hebrew Alphabet is found in verse 17- the GIMEL, which means REWARD. Our passage starts with “deal bountifully with me that I may live and keep (treasure) Your Word”. Deal bountifully with means to reward. Hebrews shows us that God rewards those who diligently seek Him.
Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Gimel also points to the HOLY SPIRIT, who instructs and convicts all believers in the areas of sin, righteousness, and judgment. John 14:15-26 says that if we love God, we will keep His commandments. Then Jesus will ask the Father, and He will give us another Helper, the Spirit of truth who will abide in us. If we keep His commandments it shows God that we love Him, and then God will disclose Himself to us. If we loves Jesus, and keep (guard) His word; and God will love us, and make His home in us.
How does He do that? – through the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit. Verse 26 tells us that God will send us a Helper, called the Holy Spirit, who teach us all things, and bring to our remembrance all that He has said to us.

Psalm 119: 18 Open my eyes that I may see wondrous things from Your law. This verse brings to my mind Ephesians 1:18-19. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. The more we read and study God’s word, WE ARE REWARDED WITH MORE AND MORE UNDERSTANDING OF HIS WORD AND HIS MESSAGES.

Can we be like the Psalmist who says, “My soul beaks with longing after Your ordinances at all times”?
