Context of Psalms 35:10
8So let sudden ruin come upon them! Let them be caught in the trap they set for me! Let them be destroyed in the pit they dug for me. 9Then I will rejoice in the Lord. I will be glad because he rescues me. With every bone in my body I will praise him: “Lord, who can compare with you? Who else rescues the helpless from the strong? Who else protects the helpless and poor from those who rob them?” 11Malicious witnesses testify against me. They accuse me of crimes I know nothing about. 12They repay me evil for good. I am sick with despair.
