1The Chaldee paraphrast gives the meaning yet higher, My soul is grown cruel against my life; As if he had said, I am so exceedingly afflicted and pained, that my soul begins to rage against my life, I can hardly hold my own hands off from my life, and I would not have God hold his. Let not my life be spared, how glad should I be to see it poured out, Anguish is come upon me (as the Amalekite reports of Saul, 2 Sam. 1.9.) because my life is whole in me. O that God would stand upon me and slay me; my soul is hardened against my life (like the Ostrich against her young ones, Chap. 39.16.) as if it were not mine. Let me die, and that shall be a favour, smite me, and that will be to me as a precious ointment, though it break my head, and let out my troubled spirits. Then we are cruel to our lives, when we care not what's done to us, or how we are, used so we may be rid of our lives.
