“Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly unto all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet.”
King James Version (KJV)
13:25 Leaf - One that can no more resist thy power, than a leaf, or a little dry straw can resist the wind or fire.
13:26 Writest - Thou appointest or inflictest. A metaphor from princes or judges, who anciently used to write their sentences.
13:28 He - He speaks of himself in the third person, as is usual in this and other sacred books. So the sense is, he, this poor frail creature, this body of mine; which possibly he pointed at with his finger, consumeth or pineth away.
Thou puttest my feete also in the stockes, and lookest narrowly vnto all my pathes; thou settest a print vpon the heeles of my feete.
