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, and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise.
4. And his brightness was as the light; he had rays flashing out of his hand: and there was his power hidden.
5. Before him went the pestilence, and burning fever went forth at his feet.
6. He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: his ways are everlasting.
7. I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: and the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.
8. Was the LORD displeased against the rivers? was your anger against the rivers? was your wrath against the sea, that you did ride upon your horses and your chariots of salvation?
9. Your bow was made quite ready, according to the oaths over your arrows. Selah. You did divide the earth with rivers.
10. The mountains saw you, and they trembled: the overflowing of the water passed by: the deep uttered its voice, and lifted up its hands on high.
11. The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of your arrows they went, and at the shining of your glittering spear.
