Context of Psalms 35:9

7For without cause they hid their net for me, and without cause they dug a pit for my soul. 8Let ruin come upon him by surprise. Let the net he hid entangle himself —into that same pit let him fall. Then my soul will rejoice in Adonai and delight in His salvation. 10All my bones will say: “Adonai, who is like You, rescuing the poor from one too strong for him, the poor and needy from one who robs him?” 11Violent witnesses rise up. They question me about things I know nothing about.
