3A prayer by the prophet Habakkuk, set to music.H8605H2265H5030H76922Lord, as I listen to what has been said about you, I am afraid. Lord, revive your work throughout all of our lives?reveal yourself throughout all of our lives?when you are angry, remember compassion.H3068H8085H8088H3372H3068H2421H6467H7130H8141H7130H8141H3045H7267H2142H73553God comes from Teman?the Holy One from Mount Paran. Interlude His glory spreads throughout the heavens, and praises about him fill the earth.H433H935H8487H6918H2022H6290H5542H1935H3680H8064H776H4390H84164His radiance is like sunlight; beams of light shine from his hand, where his strength lays hidden.H5051H216H7161H3027H2253H57975Before him pestilence walks, and disease follows behind him.H6440H3212H1698H7565H3318H72726He stood up and shook the land; with his stare he startled the nations. The age-old mountains were shattered, and the ancient hilltops bowed down. His ways are eternal.H5975H4128H776H7200H5425H1471H5703H2042H6327H5769H1389H7817H1979H57697I saw the tents of Cushan in distress, and the tent curtains of the land of Midian in anguish.H7200H168H3572H205H3407H776H4080H72648Was the Lord displeased with the rivers?Was your anger directed against the watercourses or your wrath against the sea?Indeed, you rode upon your horses, upon your chariots of deliverance.H3068H2734H5104H639H5104H5678H3220H7392H5483H4818H34449Your bow was exposed, and your arrows targeted by command. Interlude You split the earth with rivers.H7198H6181H5783H7621H4294H562H5542H1234H776H510410When the mountains looked upon you, they trembled; the overflowing water passed by, the ocean shouted, and its waves surged upward.H2022H7200H2342H2230H4325H5674H8415H5414H6963H5375H3027H731511The sun and moon stand still in their orbits; at the glint of your arrows they speed along, even at the gleam of your flashing spear.H8121H3394H5975H2073H216H2671H1980H5051H1300H259512You march through the land in righteous indignation; you tread down the nations in anger.H6805H776H2195H1758H1471H63913You marched out to deliver your people, to deliver with your anointed. You struck the head of the house of the wicked; you stripped him naked from head to foot. InterludeH3318H3468H5971H3468H4899H4272H7218H1004H7563H6168H3247H6677H554214With his own lances you pierced the heads of his warriors, who came out like a windstorm to scatter us?their joy is to devour the afflicted who are in hiding.H5344H4294H7218H6518H5590H6327H5951H398H6041H456515You rode on the sea with your horses, even riding the crested waves of mighty waters.H1869H3220H5483H2563H7227H4325
Habakkuk’s Response
16I heard and I trembled within. My lips quivered at the noise. My legs gave way beneath me, and I trembled. Nevertheless, I await the day of distress that will dawn on our invaders.H8085H990H7264H8193H6750H6963H7538H935H6106H7264H5117H3117H6869H5927H5971H146417Even though the fig tree does not blossom, and there are no grapes on the vines; even if the olive harvest fails, and the fields produce nothing edible; even if the flock is snatched from the sheepfold, and there is no herd in the stalls -H8384H6524H2981H1612H4639H2132H3584H7709H6213H400H6629H1504H4356H1241H751718as for me, I will rejoice in the Lord. I will find my joy in the God who delivers me.H5937H3068H1523H430H346819The Lord God is my strength?he will make my feet like those of a deer, equipping me to tread on my mountain heights.H3069H136H2428H7760H7272H355H1869H1116H5329H5058
