A prayer of Habakkuk the Prophet for the ignorances.
2
O Lord, I haue heard thy voyce, and was O Lord, reuiue thy worke in the mids of the people, in the mids of the yeeres make it in wrath remember mercy.
3
God commeth from Teman, and the holy one from mount Paran, Selah. His glory couereth the heauens, and the earth is full of his prayse,
4
And his brightnes was as the he had hornes comming out of his hands, and there was the hiding of his power.
5
Before him went the pestilence, and burning coales went forth before his feete.
6
He stoode and measured the he behelde and dissolued the nations and the euerlasting mountaines were broken, and the ancient hilles did his wayes are euerlasting.
7
For his iniquitie I sawe the tentes of Cushan, and the curtaines of the land of Midian did tremble.
8
Was the Lord angry against the riuers? or was thine anger against the floods? or was thy wrath against the sea, that thou diddest ride vpon thine horses? thy charets brought saluation.
9
Thy bowe was manifestly reueiled, and the othes of the tribes were a sure worde, Selah. thou diddest cleaue the earth with riuers.
10
The mountaines sawe thee, and they the streame of the water passed the deepe made a noyse, and lift vp his hand on hie.
11
The sunne and moone stood still in their at the light of thine arrowes they went, and at the bright shining of thy speares.
12
Thou trodest downe the land in anger, and didest thresh the heathen in displeasure.
13
Thou wentest foorth for the saluation of thy people, euen for saluation with thine thou hast wounded the head of the house of the wicked, and discoueredst the foundations vnto the necke, Selah.
14
Thou didest strike thorowe with his owne staues the heades of his they came out as a whirle winde to scatter their reioycing was as to deuoure the poore secretly.
15
Thou didest walke in the sea with thine horses vpon the heape of great waters.
16
When I heard, my bellie my lippes shooke at the rottennesse entred into my bones, and I trembled in my selfe, that I might rest in the day of for whe he commeth vp vnto the people, he shall destroy them.
Habakkuk Rejoices
17
For the figtree shall not flourish, neither shall fruite be in the the labour of the oliue shall faile, and the fieldes shall yeelde no the sheepe shalbe cut off from the folde, and there shalbe no bullocke in the stalles.
18
But I will reioyce in the I will ioy in the God of my saluation.
19
