1. A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, on Shigionoth.
2. O Lord, I have heard the report of You,and was afraid;O Lord, revive Your workin the midst of the years!In the midst of these yearsmake them known;in wrath remember mercy.
3. God came from Teman,and the Holy One from Mount Paran. SelahHis glory 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 His power was hidden.
5. Pestilence went out before Him,and plague followed His feet.
6. He stood and measured the earth;He looked and shook the nations.The eternal mountains were scattered,the perpetual hills bowed.His ways are everlasting.
7. I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction;the curtains of the land of Midian trembled.
8. Were you displeased with the rivers, O Lord?Was Your anger against the rivers,and was Your wrath against the seawhen You rode on Your horses,on Your chariots of salvation?
