1 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, on Shigionoth.
2 O Lord, I have heard Your speech and was afraid;O Lord, revive Your 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,The Holy One from Mount Paran.SelahHis glory covered the heavens,And the earth was full of His praise.
4 His brightness was like the light;He had rays flashing from His hand,And there His power was hidden.
5 Before Him went pestilence,And fever followed at His feet.
6 He stood and measured the earth;He looked and startled the nations.And the everlasting mountains were scattered,The perpetual hills bowed.His ways are everlasting.
7 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction;The curtains of the land of Midian trembled.
