Verse 5. End, as I desire to die, like Elias, 3 Kennicott. 19. Worthington.—The just have frequently expressed such sentiments, to move God to pity, (Job 7:1. Psalms 101:4) though they wished to live, that they might praise God on earth, ( Calmet.) if it were his will. Bible.—This text may indicate the impatience (Bert.) of the mere philosopher, ( Bible.) or David desires to know to what a decree of perfection he must arrive. Orig. Saint Ambrose
