Habakkuk’s PrayerA prayer of Habakkuk the prophet. On shigionoth.

Lord, I have heard of your fame;I stand in awe of your deeds, O Lord.Renew them in our day,in our time make them known;in wrath remember mercy.

God came from Teman,the Holy One from Mount Paran. SelahHis glory covered the heavensand his praise filled the earth.
undefined
His splendor was like the sunrise;rays flashed from his hand,where his power was hidden.
undefined
Plague went before him;pestilence followed his steps.
undefined
He stood, and shook the earth;he looked, and made the nations tremble.The ancient mountains crumbledand the age-old hills collapsed.His ways are eternal.
undefined
I saw the tents of Cushan in distress,the dwellings of Midian in anguish.
undefined
Were you angry with the rivers, O Lord?Was your wrath against the streams?Did you rage against the seawhen you rode with your horsesand your victorious chariots?
undefined
You uncovered your bow,you called for many arrows. SelahYou split the earth with rivers;
undefined
the mountains saw you and writhed.Torrents of water swept by;the deep roaredand lifted its waves on high.
undefined
Sun and moon stood still in the heavensat the glint of your flying arrows,at the lightning of your flashing spear.
undefined
In wrath you strode through the earthand in anger you threshed the nations.
undefined
You came out to deliver your people,to save your anointed one.You crushed the leader of the land of wickedness,you stripped him from head to foot. Selah
undefined
With his own spear you pierced his headwhen his warriors stormed out to scatter us,gloating as though about to devourthe wretched who were in hiding.
undefined
You trampled the sea with your horses,churning the great waters.
undefined
I heard and my heart pounded,my lips quivered at the sound;decay crept into my bones,and my legs trembled.Yet I will wait patiently for the day of calamityto come on the nation invading us.
undefined
Though the fig tree does not budand there are no grapes on the vines,though the olive crop failsand the fields produce no food,though there are no sheep in the penand no cattle in the stalls,
undefined
yet I will rejoice in the Lord,I will be joyful in God my Savior.
undefined
The Sovereign Lord is my strength;he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,he enables me to go on the heights.For the director of music. On my stringed instruments.
