Context of Psalms 35:9

7Since they hid their net for me without cause and without cause dug a pit for me, 8may ruin overtake them by surprise— may the net they hid entangle them, may they fall into the pit, to their ruin. Then my soul will rejoice in the Lord and delight in his salvation. 10My 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.
