Salmi 35:11

11 Falsi testimoni si levano; Mi domandano cose, delle quali non so nulla.

Salmi 35:11 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 35:11

False witnesses did rise up
Against David, saying he sought the hurt of Saul, ( 1 Samuel 24:9 ) , as did against David's antitype, the Lord Jesus Christ, ( Matthew 26:59-61 ) ; and against his apostles, ( Acts 24:5 Acts 24:6 ) ; and very frequently do they rise up and bear false witness against his people, which is a very heinous crime;

they laid to my charge [things] that I knew not:
such as David was not conscious of, never thought of doing, much less attempted to do; as the taking away of Saul's life, the contrary of which appeared by his cutting off his skirt only when he was in his hands, and taking away his spear from his bolster when he could have taken off his head; and such were the things laid to the charge of the Messiah, David's son, who knew no sin, nor did any; and the like are exhibited against his members, who go through good report and bad report, and whose good conversation is falsely accused by malicious men.

Salmi 35:11 In-Context

9 Allora l’anima mia festeggerà nel Signore, E si rallegrerà nella sua salute.

10 Tutte le ossa mie diranno: O Signore, chi è pari a te, Che riscuoti il povero afflitto da chi è più forte di lui; Il povero afflitto, e il bisognoso, da chi lo spoglia?

11 Falsi testimoni si levano; Mi domandano cose, delle quali non so nulla.

12 Mi rendono male per bene; Rendono sconforto all’anima mia.

13 E pure io, quando essi erano infermi, mi vestiva d’un cilicio. Ed affliggeva l’anima mia col digiuno, E la mia orazione mi ritornava in seno.
