Psalm 10:1

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

For the choir director; upon Aijeleth Hashshahar. A Psalm of David.

My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?

Far from my deliverance are the words of my

groaning.

For the choir director. A Psalm of the sons of Korah, set to Alamoth. A Song.
God is our refuge and strength,

A very present help in trouble.

“O Hope of Israel,
Its Savior in time of distress,
Why are You like a stranger in the land
Or like a traveler who has pitched his tent for the night?

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.
How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever?
How long will You hide Your face from me?

Do not hide Your face from me,

Do not turn Your servant away in anger;
You have been my help;

Do not abandon me nor forsake me,

O God of my salvation!

O Lord, by Your favor You have made my mountain to stand strong;
You hid Your face, I was dismayed.

Why do You hide Your face
And forget our affliction and our oppression?

O Lord, why do You reject my soul?
Why do You hide Your face from me?

“Why do You hide Your face
And consider me Your enemy?

When He acts on the left, I cannot behold Him;
He turns on the right, I cannot see Him.

When He keeps quiet, who then can condemn?
And when He hides His face, who then can behold Him,
That is, in regard to both nation and man?—

“Behold, I go forward but He is not there,
And backward, but I cannot perceive Him;

Your statutes are my songs
In the house of my pilgrimage.

Will You restrain Yourself at these things, O Lord?
Will You keep silent and afflict us beyond measure?
