A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet concerning

ones:
O LORD
, I have
heard thy speech
, and
was
afraid :
O LORD
, revive
thy work in the
midst of the
years, in the midst of the
years make
known ;
in wrath
remember mercy.
O Jehovah
, I heard thy report
, I
have
been
afraid ,

, Thy work !
in midst of years revive
it

God came
from Teman, and
the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah.
His
glory
covered the heavens, and the
earth
was
full
of
his praise.
God from Teman doth
come
, The Holy One from mount Paran. Pause!
Covered the heavens hath
His
majesty
, And His praise hath
filled
the
earth
.
And his
brightness was
as the light ;
he had
horns
coming
out of his hand :
and there was
the hiding of his power
.
And the
brightness is
as the light ,
He hath
rays
out of His hand ,
And there --
the hiding of His strength
.

the

went
forth at his feet.
Before Him goeth
pestilence, And a
burning flame
goeth
forth at His feet.

the
earth :
he beheld
, and drove
asunder
the
nations ;
and the
everlasting
mountains were
scattered
, the perpetual
hills did
bow:
his
ways are everlasting
.
He hath
stood, and He
measureth
earth ,
He hath
seen
, and He
shaketh
off
nations ,
And scatter
themselves
do
mountains of
antiquity
, Bowed
have
the hills of
old,
The
ways of
old
`
are '
His
.
I saw
the
tents of Cushan in
affliction:
and
the
curtains of the land of Midian did
tremble

Was
the
LORD
displeased
against the
rivers? was
thine
anger
against the
rivers? was
thy
wrath
against the sea ,
that
thou didst
ride upon
thine
horses and
thy chariots of salvation?
Against rivers hath
Jehovah
been
wroth
? Against rivers `is'
Thine
anger
? Against the sea `is'
Thy
wrath?
For
Thou dost
ride on
Thy
horses --
Thy chariots of salvation?
Thy bow was
made
quite
naked
, according
to
the
oaths
of
the tribes, even
thy
word.
Selah.
Thou didst
cleave the earth with
rivers
.
Utterly
naked
Thou
dost
make
Thy bow, Sworn
are
the tribes --
saying
, `Pause!'
`With'
rivers
Thou dost
cleave the earth.
The
mountains
saw
thee, and
they
trembled:
the
overflowing
of the
water
passed by:
the deep uttered
his
voice, and
lifted up his
hands
on
high
.
Seen
thee --
pained
are
mountains
, An
inundation
of waters
hath
passed over,
Given
forth
hath
the deep its
voice, High
its
hands
it
hath
lifted up.
The
sun and
moon stood still
in
their
habitation :
at the light of
thine arrows they
went
, and
at the shining
of thy glittering
spear.
Sun --
moon --
hath
stood --
a
habitation ,
At the light thine arrows go
on
, At the brightness,
the
glittering
of thy spear.
Thou
didst
march
through
the
land
in indignation ,
thou didst
thresh
the
heathen
in anger.
In indignation Thou dost
tread
earth,
In anger Thou
dost
thresh
nations
.
Thou wentest
forth for the salvation of thy people, even
for salvation with thine anointed ;
thou woundedst
the head out
of the house of the wicked, by
discovering
the foundation unto the neck. Selah.
Thou hast
gone
forth for the salvation of Thy people, For salvation with Thine anointed ,
Thou hast
smitten
the head of the house of the wicked, Laying
bare
the foundation unto the neck. Pause!
Thou didst
strike
through
with his staves the head of his villages:
they came
out
as
a
whirlwind
to scatter me :
their rejoicing
was
as to devour
the poor secretly
.
Thou hast
pierced
with his staves the head of his leaders,
They are
tempestuous
to scatter me ,
Their exultation
`is'
as to consume
the poor in
secret
.
Thou didst
walk
through the sea with thine
horses ,
through
the heap
of great
waters.
Thou hast
proceeded
through the sea with Thy
horses --
the clay
of many
waters.
When
I heard, my belly trembled;
my lips quivered at
the
voice:
rottenness entered
into my bones, and I
trembled
in myself
, that I might
rest in
the
day of trouble:
when
he
cometh
up unto
the people, he will
invade
them
with
his
troops
.
I have
heard, and
my belly trembleth,
At
the
noise
have
my lips quivered ,
Rottenness doth
come
into my bones, And in my
place
I
do
tremble
, That I rest for
a
day of distress,
At
the
coming
up of
the people, he overcometh
it
.
Although
the fig tree shall
not blossom
, neither
shall
fruit
be
in
the
vines ;
the labour
of the olive shall
fail
, and the
fields shall
yield
no
meat;
the
flock
shall
be
cut off from the fold, and there shall
be
no herd in the stalls :
Though
the fig -
tree doth
not flourish
, And
there
is
no
produce
among
vines ,
Failed
hath
the work
of the olive, And fields have
not
yielded
food,
Cut off from the fold hath
been
the
flock
, And there is
no herd in the stalls .
Yet I will
rejoice
in the
LORD
, I will
joy in the God of my salvation.
Yet I ,
in Jehovah
I
exult
, I do
joy in the God of my salvation.
The LORD God
is my strength, and he will
make my feet like hinds '
feet
, and he
will
make
me
to
walk
upon
mine
high places. To the chief
singer
on
my stringed instruments .
Jehovah
the Lord `
is '
my strength, And He doth
make my feet like hinds, And on
my
high -
places causeth
me
to
tread
. To the overseer
with
my stringed instruments !
