²⁷ You put my feet in the stocks
and stand watch over all my paths,
setting a limit for the soles^[a] of my feet.

¹² I have not departed from the commands from his lips;
I have treasured^[a] the words^(A) from his mouth
more than my daily food.

¹⁷ Why, Lord, do you make us stray from your ways?
You harden our hearts so we do not fear^[a] you.^(A)
Return, because of your servants,
the tribes of your heritage.

⁶ Therefore, this is what I will do:
I will block her^[a] way^(A) with thorns;^(B)
I will enclose her with a wall,
so that she cannot find her paths.^(C)
