וְ⁠תָ֘שֵׂ֤ם בַּ⁠סַּ֨ד ׀ רַגְלַ֗⁠י

and,put in/on/at/with,stocks feet,my

Job is speaking as if God literally has put his feet in shackles. He means that God has restrained his actions severely by punishing him for the slightest infractions. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and you restrain my actions severely by punishing me for the slightest infractions”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠תִשְׁמ֥וֹר כָּל־אָרְחוֹתָ֑⁠י

and,watch all/each/any/every paths,my

Job is speaking as if his courses of action were literally paths that he was walking along. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and you watch everything I do”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

עַל־שָׁרְשֵׁ֥י רַ֝גְלַ֗⁠י תִּתְחַקֶּֽה

on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in soles feet,my set_a_limit

Job is speaking as if God were literally taking some action regarding his feet. Interpreters are unsure of the exact meaning of this image. Job could be speaking as if: (1) God had drawn lines in the ground to mark foot-shaped areas where Job would have to step. Alternate translation: “you only allow me to step in a few small places” or “you only permit me to do a limited number of things without being punished” (2) God had put some kind of mark on his feet so that he would leave a distinctive footprint that God could easily track. Alternate translation: “you closely watch all of my actions”
