35:4 Let them be confounded. Psalm 35 is considered the first of the so-called “imprecatory psalms,” although there are verses of imprecation in previous psalms. See note on Psalm 5:10.

35:6 angel of the LORD. The “angel of the LORD” is mentioned only three times in the book of Psalms (Psalm 34:7; 35:5,6). This title is often given to the Lord Jesus Christ in His pre-incarnate appearances.
