Habakkuk 3:2
1 This is a prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, according to Shigionoth:
O LORD, I have heard the report of You; I stand in awe, O LORD, of Your deeds. Revive them in these years; make them known in these years. In Your wrath, remember mercy!
3 God came from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah His glory covered the heavens, and His praise filled the earth.
4 His radiance was like the sunlight; rays flashed from His hand, where His power is hidden.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
