Lamentations 3:7

King James Version (KJV)
Adam Clarke
Bible Commentary

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.

Albert Barnes
Notes on the Whole Bible

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

Matthew Henry
Concise Bible Commentary
The prophet relates the more gloomy and discouraging part of his experience, and how he found support and relief. In the time of his trial the Lord had become terrible to him. It was an affliction that was misery itself; for sin makes the cup of affliction a bitter cup. The struggle between unbelief and faith is often very severe. But the weakest believer is wrong, if he thinks that his strength and hope are perished from the Lord.
