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.
