Context of Psalms 35:9

7For without cause have they hidden for me their net [in] a pit; without cause they have digged [it] for my soul. 8Let destruction come upon him unawares, and let his net which he hath hidden catch himself: for 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 afflicted from one stronger than he, yea, the afflicted and the needy from him that spoileth him! 11Unrighteous witnesses rise up; they lay to my charge things which I know not.
