1 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, as a passionate song.
2 Adonai, I have heard the report about You and I have come to fear. Adonai, revive Your work throughout the years, throughout the years make it known, In wrath remember compassion.
3 God comes from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah His majesty covers the heavens, and His praise fills the earth.
4 With brilliance like light, rays emanate from His hand. There His power was hidden.
5 Pestilence goes before Him, a fiery bolt goes forth at His feet.
6 He stood, and the earth shook. He looked, and startled nations. Ancient mountains were shattered, hills of antiquity sank down. His ways are everlasting.
7 I saw tents of Cushan under calamity. The curtains of the land of Midian are trembling.
