Psalms [Praises] 35:6-12

⁶Let their way be dark and slippery, Adonai ’s angel pursuing them.

⁷For without cause they have hidden their net in a pit for me. Without cause they have dug a pit for my soul.

⁸Let destruction come on him unawares. Let his net that he has hidden catch himself. Let him fall into that destruction.

⁹My soul shall be joyful in Adonai . It shall rejoice in his yishu'ah ·salvation·.

¹⁰All my bones shall say, “Adonai , who is like you, who delivers the poor from him who is too strong for him; yes, the poor and the needy from him who robs him?”

¹¹Malicious witnesses come forward. They ask me about things about which I know nothing.

¹²They reward me evil for good, to the bereaving of my soul.
