Why? The Psalmist Asked
By Rev. Dean Beaty 2/16/12
Psalm 10:1-2 “Why standest thou afar off, O LORD?
why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble? The wicked
in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in
the devices that they have imagined.” (KJV)
“Why standest Thou afar off?”
This, the Psalmist wondered oft.
Why hidest Thou in time of trouble,
When all around seems but rubble?
He wondered where his God could be.
He wondered when his God would see.
Oh I know that God sees all
But where’s the answer when I call?
The wicked seek not after God.
Their mouth contains deceit and fraud.
We wonder why sinners prevail
Or is it that our faith is frail?
They have murdered the innocent
And of their sins they won’t repent.
They lie in wait to snare a soul
And yet our God is in control.
God that helps the fatherless,
Hear my prayer, O Lord and bless.
The Lord will cause His ear to hear
And He will judge both far and near.
II Chronicles 7:14 “If my people, which are called by my name,
shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn
from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will
forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” (KJV)
