3:1 This is a prayer of Habakkuk the prophet: 1
3:2 Lord, I have heard the report of what you did; 2
I am awed, 3 Lord, by what you accomplished. 4
In our time 5 repeat those deeds; 6
in our time reveal them again. 7
But when you cause turmoil, remember to show us mercy! 8
3:3 God comes 9 from Teman, 10
the sovereign 11 one from Mount Paran. 12 Selah. 13
His splendor covers the skies, 14
his glory 15 fills the earth.
3:4 He is as bright as lightning; 16
a two-pronged lightning bolt flashes from his hand. 17
This is the outward display of his power. 18
3:5 Plague goes before him;
pestilence 19 marches right behind him. 20
