גָּדַ֧ר בַּעֲדִ֛⁠י וְ⁠לֹ֥א אֵצֵ֖א

(Some words not found in UHB: walled_~_in behind,me and=not escape made_~_heavy fetter[s]_of,my_bronze )

By He walled me in, and I cannot go out, the writer means that God caused him to be imprisoned so that he could not leave (see Jeremiah 37:15–16). You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [He caused me to be confined so that I cannot escape]
