- ἔθου δέ μου τὸν πόδα ἐν κωλύματι, ἐφύλαξας δέ μου πάντα τὰ ἔργα, εἰς δὲ ῥίζας τῶν ποδῶν μου ἀφίκου·

Haydock's commentary
Stocks, in which the person's legs were sometimes stretched to the sixth hole; (Calmet) at other times, the neck was confined. (Menochius)
Some translate the Hebrew, "in the mud," which agrees with the other part of the verse.
Steps. Hebrew and Septuagint, "roots," or ankles, which retained the prints made by the stocks.
