1. A PRAYER OF HABACUC THE PROPHET FOR IGNORANCES.
2. O Lord, I have heard thy hearing, and was afraid. O Lord, thy work, in the midst of the years bring it to life: In the midst of the years thou shalt make it known: when thou art angry, thou wilt remember mercy.
3. God will come from the south, and the holy one from mount Pharan: His glory covered the heavens, and the earth is full of his praise.
4. His brightness shall be as the light; horns are in his hands: There is his strength hid:
5. Death shall go before his face. And the devil shall go forth before his feet.
6. He stood and measured the earth. He beheld, and melted the nations: and the ancient mountains were crushed to pieces. The hills of the world were bowed down by the journeys of his eternity.
7. I saw the tents of Ethiopia for their iniquity, the curtains of the land of Madian shall be troubled.
8. Wast thou angry, O Lord, with the rivers? or was thy wrath upon the rivers? or thy indignation in the sea? Who will ride upon thy horses: and thy chariots are salvation.
9. Thou wilt surely take up thy bow: according to the oaths which thou hast spoken to the tribes. Thou wilt divide the rivers of the earth.
10. The mountains saw thee, and were grieved: the great body of waters passed away. The deep put forth its voice: the deep lifted up its hands.
