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.
