Haydock's commentary
End. Septuagint, "time." I am too weak and short-lived to bear all this. (Haydock)
I can perceive no end. (Menochius)
Keep. Protestants, "prolong my life." (Haydock)
"What is the extent of my soul, to reach so far?" (Calmet)
Longanimity is the characteristic of a great soul. (Haydock)
