What is "v'Yo'el"?

1.

Rashi: He should consent.

2)

What is the meaning of "vi'Ydake'eni"?

1.

Rashi: He should kill me.

2.

Ibn Ezra: He should totally crush me.

3.

Devar Eliyahu: He should increase afflictions so harsh until I am crushed to death. Malbim - He should do so, so I will die immediately, and not crush me with one hand and sustain my life with the other hand.

3)

Should Hashem untie His hand?!

1.

Rashi: He should aggrandize it in its Makah - "Hine Yad Hashem Hoyah."

2.

Devar Eliyahu: He should open it, and cease holding my Ru'ach from leaving me. He tied my Nefesh in [me, lest it leave]. So Chazal said, the Satan was in more pain than Iyov (Bava Basra 16a. It was very hard to ravage his body and preserve his life.)

4)

What is the meaning of "vi'Yvatze'eni"?

1.

Rashi: He should finish me off. This is like "Bitza Emraso", "Yadav Teva'tza'anah." Ibn Ezra - this is like "Ki Yivtza Hashem."

2.

Devar Eliyahu: He should release the Nefesh from its confines, and cleave it. Malbim - then I will die immediately.
