Habakkuk 3:1-6

Habakkuk praises God for his great power

1 These are the words that the prophet Habakkuk prayed. He used special music to sing it.

2 Lord, I have heard the report about you.

I see the things that you have done, Lord,

and I respect your power.

Please do great things like that again.

Do them again now for us to see.

When you are angry with us,

please still remember to be kind!

3 God is coming from Teman!

The Holy God is coming from Mount Paran.

His beautiful power covers the whole sky!

People praise him all over the earth!

4 He is as bright as the sunrise.

His hands throw bright lightning!

That is where he hides his power.

5 As he marches to war,

bad disease marches with him.

6 God stands ready to fight,

and he causes the earth to shake.

He looks at the nations

and they shake with fear.

The very old mountains break into pieces.

The old hills fall down flat.

He travels on roads that have been there for ever.
