1. A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, according to Shigionoth.
2. O Lord, I have heard the report of you,and your work, O Lord, do I fear.In the midst of the years revive it;in the midst of the years make it known; in wrath remember mercy.
3. God came from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. SelahHis splendor covered the heavens,and the earth was full of his praise.
4. His brightness was like the light;rays flashed from his hand;and there he veiled his power.
5. Before him went pestilence,and plague followed at his heels.
6. He stood and measured the earth;he looked and shook the nations;then the eternal mountains were scattered;the everlasting hills sank low.His were the everlasting ways.
7. I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction; the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.
8. Was your wrath against the rivers, O Lord?Was your anger against the rivers, or your indignation against the sea, when you rode on your horses, on your chariot of salvation?
9. You stripped the sheath from your bow,calling for many arrows. Selah You split the earth with rivers.
