Habakkuk Prays to the Lord

This is a prayer of Habakkuk the prophet. It is on shigionoth. Here is what he said.

Lord, I know how famous you are.
    I have great respect for you
    because of your mighty acts.
Do them again for us.
    Make them known in our time.
When you are angry,
    please have mercy on us.

God came from Teman.
    The Holy One came from Mount Paran.
His glory covered the heavens.
    His praise filled the earth.
His glory was like the sunrise.
    Rays of light flashed from his mighty hand.
    His power was hidden there.
