1. A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet. On shigionoth.
2. Lord, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, Lord. Repeat them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy.
3. God came from Teman, the Holy One from Mount Paran. His glory covered the heavens and his praise filled the earth.
4. His splendor was like the sunrise; rays flashed from his hand, where his power was hidden.
5. Plague went before him; pestilence followed his steps.
6. He stood, and shook the earth; he looked, and made the nations tremble. The ancient mountains crumbled and the age-old hills collapsed— but he marches on forever.
7. I saw the tents of Cushan in distress, the dwellings of Midian in anguish.
8. Were you angry with the rivers, Lord? Was your wrath against the streams? Did you rage against the sea when you rode your horses and your chariots to victory?
9. You uncovered your bow, you called for many arrows. You split the earth with rivers;
10. the mountains saw you and writhed. Torrents of water swept by; the deep roared and lifted its waves on high.
