The question "Why, O LORD" indicates a personal relationship with God, acknowledging His sovereignty and presence, yet questioning His perceived absence. This sentiment is echoed in other Psalms, such as <a href="/psalms/22.htm">Psalm 22:1</a>, where David cries out, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" This feeling of divine distance can be understood in the context of Israel's history, where periods of suffering and oppression often led to cries for deliverance. Theologically, this reflects the human struggle to reconcile God's omnipresence with the experience of suffering. It also foreshadows the ultimate question of divine presence and absence seen in the life of Jesus Christ, particularly in His crucifixion.<p><b>Why do You hide in times of trouble?</b><br>The imagery of God "hiding" suggests a temporary withdrawal of His visible intervention, which can be seen throughout the Old Testament during times of Israel's disobedience or testing. This phrase captures the tension between faith and experience, where the believer trusts in God's goodness despite not seeing immediate evidence of His help. Historically, this reflects the cultural understanding of divine retribution and blessing, where God's favor was often associated with visible prosperity and protection. Theologically, it challenges believers to trust in God's ultimate plan and timing, even when His presence is not immediately apparent. This concept is further explored in the New Testament, where believers are encouraged to walk by faith and not by sight (<a href="/2_corinthians/5-7.htm">2 Corinthians 5:7</a>), trusting in God's unseen work through Christ.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_psalmist.htm">The Psalmist</a></b><br>The author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/10.htm">Psalm 10</a>, traditionally attributed to David, who is expressing a deep sense of distress and questioning God's apparent absence during troubling times.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant name of God, indicating a personal relationship with His people.

Why does God stand aloof? Why, after delivering his people from their foreign foes, does he not interfere to protect his true people from their domestic oppressors? "Throughout the reign of David," as it has been truly observed, "Palestine was infested by brigands, and disturbed by a factious nobility" ('Speaker's Commentary,' vol. 4. p. 191). <span class="cmt_word">Why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?</span> "Verily thou art a God that <span class="accented">hidest</span> thyself," says Isaiah (<a href="/isaiah/45-15.htm">Isaiah 45:15</a>). And so Job complains, "He <span class="accented">hideth</span> himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him" (<a href="/isaiah/23-9.htm">Isaiah 23:9</a>). He seems neither to see nor hear. The psalmist inquires - Why? It can only be answered, "In his wisdom; for his own purposes; because he knows it to be best." <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/psalms/10-1.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">Why,</span><br /><span class="heb">לָמָ֣ה</span> <span class="translit">(lā·māh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Interrogative<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4100.htm">Strong's 4100: </a> </span><span class="str2">What?, what!, indefinitely what</span><br /><br /><span class="word">O LORD,</span><br /><span class="heb">יְ֭הוָה</span> <span class="translit">(Yah·weh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> </span><span class="str2">LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel</span><br /><br /><span class="word">do You stand</span><br /><span class="heb">תַּעֲמֹ֣ד</span> <span class="translit">(ta·‘ă·mōḏ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Imperfect - second person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5975.htm">Strong's 5975: </a> </span><span class="str2">To stand, in various relations</span><br /><br /><span class="word">far off?</span><br /><span class="heb">בְּרָח֑וֹק</span> <span class="translit">(bə·rā·ḥō·wq)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-b | Adjective - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7350.htm">Strong's 7350: </a> </span><span class="str2">Remote, of place, time, precious</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Why do You hide</span><br /><span class="heb">תַּ֝עְלִ֗ים</span> <span class="translit">(ta‘·lîm)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Hifil - Imperfect - second person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5956.htm">Strong's 5956: </a> </span><span class="str2">To veil from sight, conceal</span><br /><br /><span class="word">in times</span><br /><span class="heb">לְעִתּ֥וֹת</span> <span class="translit">(lə·‘it·tō·wṯ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-l | Noun - common plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6256.htm">Strong's 6256: </a> </span><span class="str2">Time, now, when</span><br /><br /><span class="word">of trouble?</span><br /><span class="heb">בַּצָּרָֽה׃</span> <span class="translit">(baṣ·ṣā·rāh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6869.htm">Strong's 6869: </a> </span><span class="str2">Tightness, a female rival</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/psalms/10-1.htm">Psalm 10:1 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/psalms/10-1.htm">Psalm 10:1 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/psalms/10-1.htm">Psalm 10:1 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/psalms/10-1.htm">Psalm 10:1 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/psalms/10-1.htm">Psalm 10:1 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/psalms/10-1.htm">Psalm 10:1 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/psalms/10-1.htm">Psalm 10:1 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/psalms/10-1.htm">Psalm 10:1 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/psalms/10-1.htm">Psalm 10:1 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/psalms/10-1.htm">Psalm 10:1 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/psalms/10-1.htm">OT Poetry: Psalm 10:1 Why do you stand far off Yahweh?
