2 A praier for the faithful.

1 A Praier of Habakkúk the Prophet for thea 1.1 ignorances.

2 b 1.2 O Lord, I haue heard thy voyce, (and) was afraide: ô LORD, reuiue thyc 1.3 worke in the middes of the people, in the middes of the yeres make it knowen: in wrath re∣member mercie.

3 God commeth fromd 1.4 Temán, and the ho∣lie one from mounte Parán, Seláh. His glo∣rie couereth the heauens, and the earthe is ful of his praise.

4 And (his) brightnes was as the light:e 1.5 he had hornes (coming) out of his hands, and there was the hiding of his power.

5 Before him went the pestilence, and bur∣ning coles went for the before his fete.

6 He stode and measured the earthe: he be helde and dissolued the nacions and the euerlasting moūtaines were brokē, (&) the ancient hilles did bowe: hisf 1.6 wayes (are) e∣uerlasting

7 For (his) iniquitie I sawe the tentes of Cu* 1.7 sháh (and) the curtaines of the land of Mi∣diān did tremble.

8 Was the Lord angrie against theh 1.8 riuers? was thine angrie against the floods? or was thy wrath against the ssa, thou didest ridei 1.9 vpon thine horses? thy charettes broght saluacion.

9 Thyk 1.10 bowe was manifestely reueiled (and) thel 1.11 othes of the tribe (were) asure worde, Séláh, thoum 1.12 didest cleaue the earth with riuers.

10 The mountaines sawe thee & they trēbled the streame of the watern 1.13 passed by: the de pe made a noise, and lift vp his hand on hie

11 Theo 1.14 sunne (and) moonestood stil in (their) habitacion?p 1.15 at the light of thine arrowes thei wét (and) at the bright shining of thy speares.

12 Thou trodest downe the land in angre (&) didest thresh the heathen in displeasure.

13 Thou wentest for the for the saluacion of thy people (euen) for saluation with thineq 1.16 Anointed thou hast wounded the head of the house of the wicked, and discoueredst the fundations vnto ther 1.17 necke, Séláh.

14 Thou didests 1.18 stricke thorowe with his one owne staues the heades of his villages: they came out as a whirlewinde to scatter me: their reioycing (was) as to deuoure the poore secretly.

15 Thou didest walke in the sea with thine hor ses vpon the heape of great waters.

16 When It 1.19 heard, my belie trembled: my lip∣pes shoke at the voyce: rottennes entred into my bones, and I trembled in my selfe, that I might rest īu 1.20 the day of trouble (for) when he cometh vpx 1.21 vnto the people, he shal destroy them.

17 For the figtre shal not florish, nether shal frute (be) in the vines: the labour of the oli ue shal faile, and the fieldes shal yelde no meat: the shepe shalbe cut of fró the folde, and there shalbe no bullocke in the stalles.

18 But I wil reioyce in the Lord: I wil ioyy 1.22 in the God of my saluation.

19 The Lord God (is) my strength: he wil ma∣ke my fete like hindes (fete) and he wil ma ke me to walke vpon mine hie places,z 1.23 To the chief singer on Neginothái.
