Psalm 10:1

New International Version

¹Why, Lord, do you stand far off?^(A)
Why do you hide yourself^(B) in times of trouble?

Psalm 10:1 Psalms 9 and 10 may originally have been a single acrostic poem in which alternating lines began with the successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet. In the Septuagint they constitute one psalm.

Psalm 10:1

King James Version

10 Why standest thou afar off, O Lord? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?

²Do not hide your face^(A) from me
when I am in distress.
Turn your ear^(B) to me;
when I call, answer me quickly.

²Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline thine ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily.
