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. Selah His 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.
8
O Lord, were You displeased with the rivers, Was Your anger against the rivers, Was Your wrath against the sea, That You rode on Your horses, Your chariots of salvation?
9
Your bow was made quite ready; Oaths were sworn over Your arrows. Selah You divided the earth with rivers.
10
The mountains saw You and trembled; The overflowing of the water passed by. The deep uttered its voice, And lifted its hands on high.
11
The sun and moon stood still in their habitation; At the light of Your arrows they went, At the shining of Your glittering spear.
