8Let destruction come upon my enemy by surprise; Let the net he hid for me catch him; Into that very destruction let him fall. 9Then my soul shall rejoice in the Lord; It shall rejoice in His salvation. All my bones will say, “Lord, who is like You, Who rescues the afflicted from him who is too strong for him [to resist alone], And the afflicted and the needy from him who robs him?” 11Malicious witnesses rise up; They ask me of things that I do not know. 12They repay me evil for good, To the sorrow of my soul.
