1. The prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, according to Shigionoth:
2. Lord, I have heard your reputation.I have seen your work.Over time, revive it.Over time, make it known.Though angry, remember compassion.
3. God comes from Temanand the holy one from the mountain of Paran. SelahHis majesty covers the heavensand his praise fills the earth.
4. His radiance is like the sunlight,with rays flashing from his hand.That is the hiding place of his power.
5. Pestilence walks in front of him.Plague marches at his feet.
6. He stops and measures the earth.He looks and sets out against the nations.The everlasting mountains collapse;the eternal hills bow down;the eternal paths belong to him.
7. I saw the tents of Cushan under duress.The curtains of the land of Midian were quaking.
8. Was the Lord raging against the rivers?Or was your anger directed against the rivers?Or was your fury directed against the seawhen you rode on your horsesor rode your chariots to victory?
9. You raise up your empty bow,uttering curses for the arrows. SelahWith rivers you split open the earth.
