Context of Psalms 35:9

7For no reason they hid their net in a pit. For no reason they dug the pit ⌞to trap me⌟. 8Let destruction surprise them. Let the net that they hid catch them. Let them fall into their own pit and be destroyed. My soul will find joy in the Lord and be joyful about his salvation. 10All 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.
