The Prophet’s Prayer

2O LORD, I have heard of your renown, and I stand in awe, O LORD, of your work. In our own time revive it; in our own time make it known; in wrath may you remember mercy.H3068H8085H8088H3372H3068H2421H6467H7130H8141H7130H8141H3045H7267H2142H7355 3God came from Teman, the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise.H433H935H8487H6918H2022H6290H5542H1935H3680H8064H776H4390H8416 4The brightness was like the sun; rays came forth from his hand, where his power lay hidden.H5051H216H7161H3027H2253H5797 5Before him went pestilence, and plague followed close behind.H6440H3212H1698H7565H3318H7272 6He stopped and shook the earth; he looked and made the nations tremble. The eternal mountains were shattered; along his ancient pathways the everlasting hills sank low.H5975H4128H776H7200H5425H1471H5703H2042H6327H5769H1389H7817H1979H5769 7I saw the tents of Cushan under affliction; the tent-curtains of the land of Midian trembled.H7200H168H3572H205H3407H776H4080H7264 8Was your wrath against the rivers, O LORD? Or your anger against the rivers, or your rage against the sea, when you drove your horses, your chariots to victory?H3068H2734H5104H639H5104H5678H3220H7392H5483H4818H3444 9You brandished your naked bow, sated were the arrows at your command. Selah You split the earth with rivers.H7198H6181H5783H7621H4294H562H5542H1234H776H5104 10The mountains saw you, and writhed; a torrent of water swept by; the deep gave forth its voice. The sun raised high its hands;H2022H7200H2342H2230H4325H5674H8415H5414H6963H5375H3027H7315 11the moon stood still in its exalted place, at the light of your arrows speeding by, at the gleam of your flashing spear.H8121H3394H5975H2073H216H2671H1980H5051H1300H2595 12In fury you trod the earth, in anger you trampled nations.H6805H776H2195H1758H1471H639 13You came forth to save your people, to save your anointed. You crushed the head of the wicked house, laying it bare from foundation to roof. SelahH3318H3468H5971H3468H4899H4272H7218H1004H7563H6168H3247H6677H5542 14You pierced with his own arrows the head of his warriors, who came like a whirlwind to scatter us, gloating as if ready to devour the poor who were in hiding.H5344H4294H7218H6518H5590H6327H5951H398H6041H4565 15You trampled the sea with your horses, churning the mighty waters.H1869H3220H5483H2563H7227H4325 16I hear, and I tremble within; my lips quiver at the sound. Rottenness enters into my bones, and my steps tremble beneath me. I wait quietly for the day of calamity to come upon the people who attack us.H8085H990H7264H8193H6750H6963H7538H935H6106H7264H5117H3117H6869H5927H5971H1464

Trust and Joy in the Midst of Trouble

17Though the fig tree does not blossom, and no fruit is on the vines; though the produce of the olive fails and the fields yield no food; though the flock is cut off from the fold and there is no herd in the stalls,H8384H6524H2981H1612H4639H2132H3584H7709H6213H400H6629H1504H4356H1241H7517 18yet I will rejoice in the LORD; I will exult in the God of my salvation.H5937H3068H1523H430H3468 19GOD, the Lord, is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, and makes me tread upon the heights. To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments.H3069H136H2428H7760H7272H355H1869H1116H5329H5058
