Psalms 35:9
7 For without cause they laid their net for me; without reason they dug a pit for my soul.
8 May ruin befall them by surprise; may the net they hid ensnare them; may they fall into the hazard they created.
Then my soul will rejoice in the LORD and exult in His salvation.
10 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.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
