צָד֣וּ צְעָדֵ֔ינוּ מִלֶּ֖כֶת בִּרְחֹבֹתֵ֑ינוּ קָרַ֥ב קִצֵּ֛ינוּ מָלְא֥וּ יָמֵ֖ינוּ כִּי־בָ֥א קִצֵּֽינוּ׃ (ס)
On s’est jeté sur nos talons, nous fermant l’accès de nos propres rues: notre fin s’approchait, nos jours étaient consommés. Ah! Elle est venue, notre fin!
Tze'enah Ure'enah
“Our steps” [4:18]. They did not let us walk in our streets. Our end is near and our days are full, our end has come.
Rashi
They lurked behind our steps. Our enemies stalked our footsteps [and prevented us] from walking in our streets, as in, “but for one who had not lain in ambush צָדָה”26Shemos 21:13. [and as in,] “but you are stalking צָדָה my soul.”27I Shmuel 34:12.
