Psalm 10:1

New King James Version

10 Why do You stand afar off, O Lord?
Why do You hide in times of trouble?

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.

¹⁶^(A)The face of the Lord is against those who do evil,
^(B)To ^[a]cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

¹⁶but the face of the Lord is against^(A) those who do evil,^(B)
to blot out their name^(C) from the earth.
