Psalm 10
Biblical psalm / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about Psalm 10 in Hebrew (Masoretic) numbering. For Psalm 10 in Greek Septuagint or Latin Vulgate numbering, see Psalm 11.
Psalm 10 is the tenth psalm of the Book of Psalms, beginning in English in the King James Version: "Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?" In the Greek Septuagint and the Latin Vulgate, it is not an individual psalm but the second part of psalm 9, "Ut quid Domine recessisti".[1] These two consecutive psalms have the form of a single acrostic Hebrew poem. Compared to Psalm 9, Psalm 10 is focused more on the individual than the collective human condition.[2]
For the Trouble album, see Psalm 9 (album).
