Contextual Overview
1 I, the man, have seen affliction by the rod of His wrath. 2 He led me and made me go in darkness and not light. 3 Surely He turned against me; He turns His hand all the day. 4 He has wasted my flesh and my skin. He has shattered my bones. 5 He built against me and has put around me bitterness and hardship. 6 He has made me live in dark places like the dead of old. 7 He walled around me and I cannot go out; He has made heavy my bronze chain . 8 Also, when I cry out and shout for help, He shuts out my prayer. 9 He walled up my ways with cut stone; my paths are crooked. 10 He was a bear lying in wait for me, a lion in secret places.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Also when I cry and shout,.... Cry, because of the distress of the enemy within; "shout", or cry aloud for help from others without; as persons in a prison do, to make them hear and pity their case: thus the prophet in his affliction cried aloud to God; was fervent, earnest, and importunate in prayer; and yet not heard:
he shutteth out my prayer; shuts the door, that it may not enter; as the door is sometimes shut upon beggars, that their cry may not be heard. The Targum is,
"the house of my prayer is shut.''
Jarchi interprets it of the windows of the firmament being shut, so that his prayer could not pass through, or be heard; see Lamentations 3:44. The phrase designs God's disregard, or seeming disregard, of the prayer of the prophet, or of the people; and his shutting his ears against it. Of this, as the Messiah's case, see Psalms 22:2.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Shout - i. e. call for help.
Shutteth out - Or, “shutteth in.” God has so closed up the avenues to the place in which he is immured, that his voice can find no egress.
