Contextual Overview

1 I am the man that thorowe the rodde of his wrath haue experience of miserie. 2 He droue me foorth and led me, yea into darknesse, but not into light. 3 Against me is he turned, he turneth his hande dayly against me. 4 My flesh and my skinne hath he made olde, and my bones hath he bruised. 5 He hath buylded rounde about me, and closed me in with gall and trauaile. 6 He hath set me in darknesse, as they that be dead for euer. 7 He hath so hedged me in, that I can not get out, and hath layde heauie linkes vpon me. 8 Though I crye and call pitiously, yet heareth he not my prayer. 9 He hath stopped vp my wayes with foure squared stones, and made my pathes crooked. 10 He layeth wayte for me lyke a beare, and as a lion in a hole.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

He hath hedged me about, that I cannot go out,.... When in prison, or in the dungeon, or during the siege of Jerusalem; though the phrase may only denote in general the greatness of his troubles, with which he was encompassed, and how inextricable they were; like a hedge about a vineyard, or a wall about a city, which could not easily be got over:

he hath made my chain heavy; his affliction intolerable. It is a metaphor taken from malefactors that have heavy chains put upon their legs, that they may not make their escape out of prison: or, "my brass" g; that is, chains, or a chain made of brass; so the Targum,

"he hath made heavy upon my feet fetters of brass.''

g נחשתי χαλκον μου Sept. "aes meum, [vel] chalybem meum", Piscator.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The prophet feels as if enclosed within walls, and fettered.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 7. He hath hedged me about — This also may refer to the lines drawn round the city during the siege. But these and similar expressions in the following verses may be merely metaphorical, to point out their straitened, oppressed, and distressed state.
