Context of Psalms 35:10

8Let destruction surprise them. Let the net that they hid catch them. Let them fall into their own pit and be destroyed. 9My soul will find joy in the Lord and be joyful about his salvation. All my bones will say, “O Lord, who can compare with you? You rescue the weak person from the one who is too strong for him and weak and needy people from the one who robs them.” 11Malicious people bring charges against me. They ask me things I know nothing about. 12I am devastated because they pay me back with evil instead of good.
