1. A Prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth.
2. Jehovah, I heard the report of thee, and I feared. Jehovah, revive thy 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, And the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covereth the heavens, And the earth is full of his praise.
4. And his brightness was as the light; Rays came forth from his hand; And there was the hiding of his power.
5. Before him went the pestilence, And a burning flame went forth at his feet.
6. He stood, and measured the earth; He beheld, and discomfited the nations; And the eternal mountains were scattered, The everlasting hills gave way: His ways are everlasting.
7. I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction; The curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.
8. Was Jehovah wrathful with the rivers? Was thine anger against the rivers? Was thy rage against the sea, That thou didst ride upon thy horses, Thy chariots of salvation?
9. Thy bow was made naked, The rods of discipline sworn according to thy word. Selah. Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers.
10. The mountains saw thee, they were in travail: Torrents of waters passed by; The deep uttered its voice, Lifted up its hands on high.
11. The sun and moon stood still in their habitation, At the light of thine arrows which shot forth, --At the shining of thy glittering spear.
