In this article, we consider the following semilinear elliptic equation on the hyperbolic space \begin{eqnarray} \Delta_{H^n} u-\lambda u+|u|^{p-1}u=0\quad on\quad H^n\setminus \{Q\} \end{eqnarray} where $\Delta_{H^n}$ is the Laplace-Beltrami operator on the hyperbolic space \begin{eqnarray} H^n=\{(x_1,\cdots, x_n,x_{n+1})|x_1^2+\cdots+x_n^2-x_{n+1}^2=-1\}, \end{eqnarray} $n>10,\ p>1, \lambda>0,$ and $Q=(0,\cdots,0,1)$. We provide the existence and uniqueness of a singular positive radial'' solution of the above equation for big $p$ (greater than the Joseph-Lundgren exponent, which appears if $n > 10$) as well as its asymptotic behavior.
