Chasidut for Psalms 35:10

כָּ֥ל עַצְמוֹתַ֨י ׀ תֹּאמַרְנָה֮ יְהוָ֗ה מִ֥י כָ֫מ֥וֹךָ מַצִּ֣יל עָ֭נִי מֵחָזָ֣ק מִמֶּ֑נּוּ וְעָנִ֥י וְ֝אֶבְי֗וֹן מִגֹּזְלֽוֹ׃

All my bones shall say: 'LORD, who is like unto Thee, Who deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, Yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?'

Kedushat Levi

Yet another interpretation of Malki Tzedek’s blessing of ‎Avram: We must try and understand the sequence of “blessed be ‎Avram to the Supreme G’d, the owner of heaven and earth, and ‎blessed this Supreme G’d Who acted as shield against your ‎oppressors delivering them into your hand.” When Malki Tzedek ‎refers to G’d as owning heaven and earth, we paraphrase this ‎three times a day in our prayers by referring to G’d as ‎קונה הכל‎, ‎‎“He Who owns everything.”

Baal Shem Tov

You should accustom yourself to pray even songs in a low voice, and to shout silently. You should say each word, whether in song or in study, with all your strength, as it is written (Psalms 35:10) "All my bones shall speak, etc." The shouting that comes from intense cleaving should be like a whisper.
