Context of Psalms 35:10

8Let destruction take them by surprise! Let the net they hid catch them! Let them fall into destruction! 9Then I will rejoice in the Lord and be happy because of his deliverance. With all my strength I will say, “O Lord, who can compare to you? You rescue the oppressed from those who try to overpower them; the oppressed and needy from those who try to rob them.” 11Violent men perjure themselves, and falsely accuse me. 12They repay me evil for the good I have done; I am overwhelmed with sorrow.
