Psalms 10:1

Why, Lord (Yahweh), do you stand far away
and hide yourself [your eyes, your face] in times of trouble (drought, distress)?
[The twelfth Hebrew letter is: ל – lamed. It is the tallest letter in the Hebrew alphabet. This makes it stand out in a text and be clearly visible, as it is the only letter that is so tall that it rises above the imaginary top line along the upper edge of the letters. The character depicts a shepherd's crook or ox whip. It often describes authority, or something that motivates and causes something to happen. The word "Why" begins with this letter and reinforces the question of why it sometimes seems to take so long for the Lord to intervene. Why does it seem as if God is far away, when He is the greatest? Just as lamed sticks up and stands out, shouldn't God be visible here on earth? Part of the answer comes in verses 2-11, where wickedness disturbs God's order and obscures Him.]
