Bible verse
For without cause they laid their net for me; without reason they dug a pit for my soul.
Psalm 35:7 · BSB
The verses around it, from Psalm 35.
3 Draw the spear and javelin against my pursuers; say to my soul: “I am your salvation.”
4 May those who seek my life be disgraced and put to shame; may those who plan to harm me be driven back and confounded.
5 May they be like chaff in the wind, as the angel of the LORD drives them away.
6 May their path be dark and slick, as the angel of the LORD pursues.
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.
9 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.
