1. This is the prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, on shigionoth.
2. Lord, I have heard the news about you;I am amazed at what you have done.Lord, do great things once again in our time;make those things happen again in our own days.Even when you are angry,remember to be kind.
3. God is coming from Teman;the Holy One comes from Mount Paran.SelahHis glory covers the skies,and his praise fills the earth.
4. He is like a bright light.Rays of light shine from his hand,and there he hides his power.
5. Sickness goes before him,and disease follows behind him.
6. He stands and shakes the earth.He looks, and the nations shake with fear.The mountains, which stood for ages, break into pieces;the old hills fall down.God has always done this.
7. I saw that the tents of Cushan were in troubleand that the tents of Midian trembled.
8. Lord, were you angry at the rivers,or were you angry at the streams?Were you angry with the seawhen you rode your horses and chariots of victory?
