    A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet. On shigionoth.a
  • I have heard all about you, LORD.
    I am filled with awe by your amazing works.
    In this time of our deep need,
    help us again as you did in years gone by.
    And in your anger,
    remember your mercy.
  • Lord, I have heard of your fame;
    I stand in awe of your deeds, Lord.
    Repeat them in our day,
    in our time make them known;
    in wrath remember mercy.

    the Holy One coming from Mount Paran.c
    His brilliant splendor fills the heavens,
    and the earth is filled with his praise.
  • God came from Teman,
    the Holy One from Mount Paran.b
    His glory covered the heavens
    and his praise filled the earth.

    where his awesome power is hidden.

    and levels the eternal hills.
    He is the Eternal One!d

    and the nation of Midian trembling in terror.

    the dwellings of Midian in anguish.
  • Was it in anger, LORD, that you struck the rivers
    and parted the sea?
    Were you displeased with them?
    No, you were sending your chariots of salvation!
  • Were you angry with the rivers, Lord?
    Was your wrath against the streams?
    Did you rage against the sea
    when you rode your horses
    and your chariots to victory?

    and your quiver of arrows.
    You split open the earth with flowing rivers.

    you called for many arrows.

    Onward swept the raging waters.
    The mighty deep cried out,
    lifting its hands in submission.

    Torrents of water swept by;
    the deep roared
    and lifted its waves on high.

    as your brilliant arrows flew
    and your glittering spear flashed.

    you destroyed the chief of those
    who rushed out like a whirlwind,

    and the mighty waters piled high.

    churning the great waters.
  • I trembled inside when I heard this;
    my lips quivered with fear.
    My legs gave way beneath me,e
    and I shook in terror.
    I will wait quietly for the coming day
    when disaster will strike the people who invade us.
  • I heard and my heart pounded,
    my lips quivered at the sound;
    decay crept into my bones,
    and my legs trembled.
    Yet I will wait patiently for the day of calamity
    to come on the nation invading us.
  • Even though the fig trees have no blossoms,
    and there are no grapes on the vines;
    even though the olive crop fails,
    and the fields lie empty and barren;
    even though the flocks die in the fields,
    and the cattle barns are empty,
  • Though the fig tree does not bud
    and there are no grapes on the vines,
    though the olive crop fails
    and the fields produce no food,
    though there are no sheep in the pen
    and no cattle in the stalls,
  • yet I will rejoice in the LORD!
    I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!
  • yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
    I will be joyful in God my Savior.
  • The Sovereign LORD is my strength!
    He makes me as surefooted as a deer,f
    able to tread upon the heights.
    (For the choir director: This prayer is to be accompanied by stringed instruments.)
  • The Sovereign Lord is my strength;
    he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
    he enables me to tread on the heights.
    For the director of music. On my stringed instruments.
