And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: Thou hast set my feet in a large room.

And You have not given me into the hand of the enemy; You have set my feet in a broad place.

And thou hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy; Thou hast set my feet in a large place.

You didn’t hand me over to the enemy, but set my feet in wide-open spaces.

I will give you understanding, and I will instruct you in this way, in which you will walk. I will fix my eyes upon you.

I will give thee understanding, and I will instruct thee in this way, in which thou shalt go: I will fix my eyes upon thee.

Thou hast it seen; for their mischief and spite thou wilt repay: The poor commits himself to thee; thou art the orphan's stay.

He to a place where liberty and room was hath me brought; Because he took delight in me, he my deliv'rance wrought.

Give ear unto me when I call, God of my righteousness: Have mercy, hear my pray'r; thou hast enlarg'd me in distress.

Thou hast put far from me my friends, thou mad'st them to abhor me; And I am so shut up, that I find no evasion for me.
