Exegesis
The prohibition al-yimshelu-bi {אַל־יִמְשְׁלוּ־בִי | ʾal-yim-šə-lū-bī} ‘do not let them rule over me’ combines the negative particle al with a Qal imperfect verb plus suffix, forming a forceful plea.
Root and etymology
Rootaleph–lamed
“God, mighty one”
In context — Psalm 19:13
Also keep back Your servant from presumptuous sins; do not let them rule over me. Then I shall be blameless and innocent of great transgression.
