    6And now deal with me according to what is pleasing to you. Command that my spirit be taken up, so that I may be released and become dust. For it is better for me to die than to live, because I have heard false reproaches, and there is great grief within me. Command that I be released now from this distress into the everlasting place, and do not turn your face away from me.
