1. A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, set to Shigionoth.
2. O Lord, I have heard the report of thee, and am afraid: O Lord, revive thy work in the midst of the years, 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. Selah His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise.
4. And his brightness was as the light; he had rays coming forth from his hand: and there was the hiding of his power.
5. Before him went the pestilence, and fiery bolts went forth at his feet.
