Psalms
Psalm 35:9–11
9Then my soul will rejoice in the LORD
and exult in His salvation.
10All my bones will exclaim,
“Who is like You, O LORD,
who delivers the afflicted from the aggressor,
the poor and needy from the robber?”
11Hostile witnesses come forward;
they make charges I know nothing about.
