Habakkuk prays

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

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!
God is coming from Teman!
    The Holy God is coming from Paran mountain.[a]
Selah.
His beautiful power covers the whole sky!
    People praise him all over the earth!
