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.
