1 A prayer of the prophet Habakkuk; according to shigionoth.
2 Lord, I have heard the report about you.
3 God comes from Teman.
4 His brightness is like the sunlight.
5 Diseases go ahead of him.
6 He stands and shakes the earth.
7 I see trouble in the tents of Cushan.
8 The Lord is not angry with the rivers, is he?
9 You get your bow ready for action,
10 The mountains look at you. They writhe in pain.
11 The sun and the moon stand still.
12 You march through the earth with fury.
13 You go out to save your people,
14 You pierce the leader of his gang with his own arrows.
15 You march with your horses into the sea,
16 I have heard, so there’s trembling within me.
17 Even if the fig tree does not bloom
18 even then,
19 The Lord Almighty is my strength.
