Psalms 35:10
8 May ruin befall them by surprise; may the net they hid ensnare them; may they fall into the hazard they created.
9 Then my soul will rejoice in the LORD and exult in His salvation.
All my bones will exclaim, “Who is like You, O LORD, who delivers the afflicted from the aggressor, the poor and needy from the robber?”
11 Hostile witnesses come forward; they make charges I know nothing about.
12 They repay me evil for good, to the bereavement of my soul.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
