The Prophet’s Prayer

O Lord, I have heard the report of thee,
    and thy work, O Lord, do I fear.
In the midst of the years renew it;
    in the midst of the years make it known;
    in wrath remember mercy.
God came from Teman,
    and the Holy One from Mount Paran.
His glory covered the heavens,
    and the earth was full of his praise.
                Selah
His brightness was like the light,
    rays flashed from his hand;
    and there he veiled his power.
