Context of Psalms 35:9

7For without cause have they hid for me their netina pit; Without cause have they digged a pit for my soul. 8Let destruction come upon him unawares; And let his net that he hath hid catch himself: With destruction let him fall therein. And my soul shall be joyful in Jehovah: It shall rejoice in his salvation. 10All my bones shall say, Jehovah, who is like unto thee, Who deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, Yea, the poor and the needy from him that robbeth him? 11Unrighteous witnesses rise up; They ask me of things that I know not.
