1A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, put to Shigionoth.
2O Lord, word of you has come to my ears; I have seen your work, O Lord; when the years come near make it clear; in wrath keep mercy in mind.
3God came from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah. The heavens were covered with his glory, and the earth was full of his praise.
4He was shining like the light; he had rays coming out from his hand: there his power was kept secret.
5Before him went disease, and flames went out at his feet.
6From his high place he sent shaking on the earth; he saw and nations were suddenly moved: and the eternal mountains were broken, the unchanging hills were bent down; his ways are eternal.
7The curtains of Cushan were troubled, and the tents of Midian were shaking.
