Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? Why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?
WHY DO You stand afar off, O Lord? Why do You hide Yourself, [veiling Your eyes] in times of trouble (distress and desperation)?
Why standest thou afar off, O Jehovah? Why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?
Why do you stand so far away, LORD, hiding yourself in troubling times?
Unto the end. A Psalm of David.
