Context of Psalms 35:10

8Let ruin come on him unexpectedly, and let the net that he hid ensnare him; let him fall into it — to his ruin. 9Then I will rejoice in the Lord; I will delight in his deliverance. All my bones will say, “Lord, who is like you, rescuing the poor from one too strong for him, the poor or the needy from one who robs him?” 11Malicious witnesses come forward; they question me about things I do not know. 12They repay me evil for good, making me desolate.
