1. A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet. On shigionoth.
2. Lord, I have heard of your fame;I stand in awe of your deeds, Lord.Repeat them in our day,in our time make them known;in wrath remember mercy.
3. God came from Teman,the Holy One from Mount Paran.His glory covered the heavensand his praise filled the earth.
4. His splendour was like the sunrise;rays flashed from his hand,where his power was hidden.
5. Plague went before him;pestilence followed his steps.
6. He stood, and shook the earth;he looked, and made the nations tremble.The ancient mountains crumbledand the age-old hills collapsed –but he marches on for ever.
7. I saw the tents of Cushan in distress,the dwellings of Midian in anguish.
