1A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, set to Shigionoth.
2O Jehovah, I have heard the report of thee, and am afraid: O Jehovah, revive thy work in the midst of the years; In the midst of the years make it known; In wrath remember mercy.
3God came from Teman, And the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, And the earth was full of his praise.
4And [his] brightness was as the light; He had rays [coming forth] from his hand; And there was the hiding of his power.
5Before him went the pestilence, And fiery bolts went forth at his feet.
6He stood, and measured the earth; He beheld, and drove asunder the nations; And the eternal mountains were scattered; The everlasting hills did bow; His goings were [as] of old.
7I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction; The curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.
