²³ Why is light given to a man whose ^(A)way is hidden,
    whom God has ^(B)hedged in?

⁸ He has ^(A)walled up my way, so that I cannot pass,
    and he has set darkness upon my paths.

⁶ Therefore ^(A)I will hedge up her^[a] way with thorns,
    and ^(B)I will build a wall against her,
    so that she cannot find her paths.

^9 (A)he has blocked my ways with blocks of stones;
    he has made my paths crooked.

⁸ and you have not ^(A)delivered me into the hand of the enemy;
    you have set my feet in ^(B)a broad place.

¹² His ^(A)troops come on together;
    they have ^(B)cast up their siege ramp^[a] against me
    and encamp around my tent.
