Dual Panel1A prayer<8605> of Habakkuk<2265> the prophet<5030>, according<5921> to Shigionoth<7692>.
2LORD<3068>, I have heard<8085> the report<8088> about You and I fear<3372>. O LORD<3068>, revive<2421> Your work<6467> in the midst<7130> of the years<8141>, In the midst<7130> of the years<8141> make<3045> it known<3045>; In wrath<7267> remember<2142> mercy<7355>.
3God<433> comes<935> from Teman<8487>, And the Holy<6918> One<6918> from Mount<2022> Paran<6290>. Selah<5542>. His splendor<1935> covers<3680> the heavens<8064>, And the earth<776> is full<4390> of His praise<8416>.
4His radiance<5051> is like the sunlight<216>; He has rays<7161> flashing from His hand<3027>, And there<8033> is the hiding<2253> of His power<5797>.
5Before<6440> Him goes<1980> pestilence<1698>, And plague<7565> comes<3318> after<7272> Him.
6He stood<5975> and surveyed<4058> the earth<776>; He looked<7200> and startled<5425> the nations<1471>. Yes, the perpetual<5703> mountains<2022> were shattered<6483>, The ancient<5769> hills<1389> collapsed<7817>. His ways<1979> are everlasting<5769>.
7I saw<7200> the tents<168> of Cushan<3572> under<8478> distress<205>, The tent<3407> curtains<3407> of the land<776> of Midian<4080> were trembling<7264>.
8Did the LORD<3068> rage<2734> against the rivers<5104>, Or<518> was Your anger<639> against the rivers<5104>, Or<518> was Your wrath<5678> against the sea<3220>, That You rode<7392> on Your horses<5483>, On Your chariots<4818> of salvation<3444>?
9Your bow<7198> was made<5783> bare<6181><5783>, The rods<4294> of chastisement<561> were sworn<7621>. Selah<5542>. You cleaved<1234> the earth<776> with rivers<5104>.
10The mountains<2022> saw<7200> You and quaked<2342>; The downpour<2230> of waters<4325> swept<5674> by. The deep<8415> uttered<5414> forth<5414> its voice<6963>, It lifted<5375> high<7315> its hands<3027>.
11Sun<8121> and moon<3394> stood<5975> in their places<2073>; They went<1980> away at the light<216> of Your arrows<2671>, At the radiance<5051> of Your gleaming<1300> spear<2595>.
12In indignation<2195> You marched<6805> through the earth<776>; In anger<639> You trampled<1758> the nations<1471>.
13You went<3318> forth<3318> for the salvation<3468> of Your people<5971>, For the salvation<3468> of Your anointed<4899>. You struck<4272> the head<7218> of the house<1004> of the evil<7563> To lay<6168> him open<6168> from thigh<3247> to neck<6677>. Selah<5542>.
14You pierced<5344> with his own spears<4294> The head<7218> of his throngs<6518>. They stormed<5590> in to scatter<6327> us; Their exultation<5951> was like<3644> those Who devour<398> the oppressed<6041> in secret<4565>.
15You trampled<1869> on the sea<3220> with Your horses<5483>, On the surge<2563> of many<7227> waters<4325>.
16I heard<8085> and my inward<990> parts<990> trembled<7264>, At the sound<6963> my lips<8193> quivered<6750>. Decay<7538> enters<935> my bones<6106>, And in my place<8478> I tremble<7264>. Because<834> I must wait<5117> quietly<5117> for the day<3117> of distress<6869>, For the people<5971> to arise<5927> who will invade<1464> us.
17Though<3588> the fig<8384> tree<8384> should not blossom<6524> And there<369> be no<369> fruit<2981> on the vines<1612>, Though the yield<4639> of the olive<2132> should fail<3584> And the fields<7709> produce<6213> no<3808> food<400>, Though the flock<6629> should be cut<1504> off<1504> from the fold<4356> And there<369> be no<369> cattle<1241> in the stalls<7517>,
18Yet I will exult<5937> in the LORD<3068>, I will rejoice<1523> in the God<430> of my salvation<3468>.
19The Lord<136> GOD<3068> is my strength<2428>, And He has made<7760> my feet<7272> like hinds'<355> feet, And makes me walk<1869> on my high<1116> places<1116>. For the choir<5329> director<5329>, on my stringed<5058> instruments<5058>.
