3This is a prayer of the prophet Habakkuk:H8605H2265H5030H7692

2O LORD, I have heard of what you have done, and I am filled with awe. Now do again in our times the great deeds you used to do. Be merciful, even when you are angry.H3068H8085H8088H3372H3068H2421H6467H7130H8141H7130H8141H3045H7267H2142H7355

3God is coming again from Edom; the holy God is coming from the hills of Paran. His splendor covers the heavens, and the earth is full of his praise.H433H935H8487H6918H2022H6290H5542H1935H3680H8064H776H4390H8416

4He comes with the brightness of lightning; light flashes from his hand, there where his power is hidden.H5051H216H7161H3027H2253H5797

5He sends disease before him and commands death to follow him.H6440H3212H1698H7565H3318H7272

6When he stops, the earth shakes; at his glance the nations tremble. The eternal mountains are shattered; the everlasting hills sink down, the hills where he walked in ancient times.H5975H4128H776H7200H5425H1471H5703H2042H6327H5769H1389H7817H1979H5769

7I saw the people of Cushan afraid and the people of Midian tremble.H7200H168H3572H205H3407H776H4080H7264

8Was it the rivers that made you angry, LORD? Was it the sea that made you furious? You rode upon the clouds; the storm cloud was your chariot, as you brought victory to your people.H3068H2734H5104H639H5104H5678H3220H7392H5483H4818H3444

9You got ready to use your bow, ready to shoot your arrows. Your lightning split open the earth.H7198H6181H5783H7621H4294H562H5542H1234H776H5104

10When the mountains saw you, they trembled; water poured down from the skies. The waters under the earth roared, and their waves rose high.H2022H7200H2342H2230H4325H5674H8415H5414H6963H5375H3027H7315

11At the flash of your speeding arrows and the gleam of your shining spear, the sun and the moon stood still.H8121H3394H5975H2073H216H2671H1980H5051H1300H2595

12You marched across the earth in anger; in fury you trampled the nations.H6805H776H2195H1758H1471H639

13You went out to save your people, to save your chosen king. You struck down the leader of the wicked and completely destroyed his followers.H3318H3468H5971H3468H4899H4272H7218H1004H7563H6168H3247H6677H5542

14Your arrows pierced the commander of his army when it came like a storm to scatter us, gloating like those who secretly oppress the poor.H5344H4294H7218H6518H5590H6327H5951H398H6041H4565

15You trampled the sea with your horses, and the mighty waters foamed.H1869H3220H5483H2563H7227H4325

16I hear all this, and I tremble; my lips quiver with fear. My body goes limp, and my feet stumble beneath me. I will quietly wait for the time to come when God will punish those who attack us.H8085H990H7264H8193H6750H6963H7538H935H6106H7264H5117H3117H6869H5927H5971H1464

17Even though the fig trees have no fruit and no grapes grow on the vines, even though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no grain, even though the sheep all die and the cattle stalls are empty,H8384H6524H2981H1612H4639H2132H3584H7709H6213H400H6629H1504H4356H1241H7517

18I will still be joyful and glad, because the LORD God is my savior.H5937H3068H1523H430H3468

19The Sovereign LORD gives me strength. He makes me sure-footed as a deer and keeps me safe on the mountains.H3069H136H2428H7760H7272H355H1869H1116H5329H5058
