George Leo Haydock, on Tob 3:6

“And now, O Lord, do with me according to thy will, and command my spirit to be received in peace: for it is better for me to die, than to live.”

“Peace. Greek, “that I may be dissolved, and return to the earth; (literally, become earth) because it is more advantageous for me to die than to live, since I have heard false reproaches, and am much grieved. Command that I may be freed from this necessity, to go to my eternal place.” (Haydock)”
