Context of Psalms 35:10
8may ruin overtake them by surprise— may the net they hid entangle them, may they fall into the pit, to their ruin. 9Then my soul will rejoice in the Lord and delight in his salvation. My whole being will exclaim, “Who is like you, Lord? You rescue the poor from those too strong for them, the poor and needy from those who rob them.” 11Ruthless witnesses come forward; they question me on things I know nothing about. 12They repay me evil for good and leave me like one bereaved.
