Haydock's commentary
Off, and release me from this state of misery and danger. (Haydock)
He is ready to die cheerfully, if it be God's will. (Calmet)
Septuagint, "May the Lord, who has begun, wound me, but not take me away finally. Yea, let my city, over which I have exulted, be my grave. I will not spare, for I have not belied a word of my holy God." (Haydock)
