Habakkuk 3:1-7

Habakkuk’s Prayer 1A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet. On shigionoth . Probably a literary or musical term

2LORD, 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.

3God came from Teman, the Holy One from Mount Paran. The Hebrew has Selah (a word of uncertain meaning) here and at the middle of verse 9 and at the end of verse 13. His glory covered the heavens and his praise filled the earth.

4His splendor was like the sunrise; rays flashed from his hand, where his power was hidden.

5Plague went before him; pestilence followed his steps.

6He stood, and shook the earth; he looked, and made the nations tremble. The ancient mountains crumbled and the age-old hills collapsed— but he marches on forever.

7I saw the tents of Cushan in distress, the dwellings of Midian in anguish.
