Habakkuk’s Prayer

³I see God moving across the deserts from Edom, the Holy One coming from Mount Paran. His brilliant splendor fills the heavens, and the earth is filled with his praise.

⁴His coming is as brilliant as the sunrise. Rays of light flash from his hands, where his awesome power is hidden.

⁵Pestilence marches before him; plague follows close behind.

⁶When he stops, the earth shakes. When he looks, the nations tremble. He shatters the everlasting mountains and levels the eternal hills. He is the Eternal One!

⁷I see the people of Cushan in distress, and the nation of Midian trembling in terror.

⁸Was 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!

⁹You brandished your bow and your quiver of arrows. You split open the earth with flowing rivers.

¹⁰The mountains watched and trembled. Onward swept the raging waters. The mighty deep cried out, lifting its hands in submission.

¹¹The sun and moon stood still in the sky as your brilliant arrows flew and your glittering spear flashed.

¹²You marched across the land in anger and trampled the nations in your fury.
