Psalms 35:11
“Unrighteous witnesses rise up. They ask me about things that I don’t know about.”
What does Psalms 35:11 mean?
The psalmist is describing the pain of being accused falsely by people who twist facts or make charges about things he never did. This captures that awful feeling of being attacked for something you didn't say or do, where your accusers seem to have their minds already made up. It's a deeply human cry of injustice that many people recognize today: being misunderstood, misquoted, or blamed for wrongs you didn't commit. The psalm goes on to show the writer turning this burden over to God rather than trying to defend himself alone, which offers comfort to anyone who's felt trapped by false accusations.
