Verse 4. And again. Hebrew “and the night be completed, I toss to and fro,” ( Bible.) or “I am disturbed with dreams, ( Calmet.) till day break.” Vulg. insinuates that night and day are equally restless to a man in extreme pain. Bible.—As I find no comfort, why may I not desire to die? Menochius.—I desire to be dissolved, as being much better, said Saint Paul.
