Psalms 35

David appeals to YHWH for vindication and protection against his enemies who have attacked him without cause, asking God to fight against those who fight him and to turn their own traps against them.[1][2] The psalm emphasizes David's faithfulness—he mourned for his enemies when they were sick—yet they rejoiced at his stumbling, and concludes with David's soul rejoicing in YHWH's salvation and deliverance of the afflicted.[1][2]
