The Prophet’s Prayer
O Lord, revive Your work in the midst of the years!
In the midst of the years make it known;
In wrath remember mercy.
The Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah
His glory covered the heavens,
And the earth was full of His praise.
He had rays flashing from His hand,
And there His power was hidden.
He looked and startled the nations.
aAnd the everlasting mountains were scattered,
The perpetual hills bowed.
His ways are everlasting.
Was Your anger against the rivers,
Was Your wrath against the sea,
That You rode on Your horses,
Your chariots of salvation?
Oaths were sworn over Your1 arrows. Selah
You divided the earth with rivers.
The overflowing of the water passed by.
The deep uttered its voice,
And alifted its hands on high.
At the light of Your arrows they went,
At the shining of Your glittering spear.
For salvation with Your Anointed.
You struck the head from the house of the wicked,
By laying bare from foundation to neck. Selah
The head of his villages.
They came out like a whirlwind to scatter me;
Their rejoicing was like feasting on the poor in secret.
My lips quivered at the voice;
Rottenness entered my bones;
And I trembled in myself,
That I might rest in the day of trouble.
When he comes up to the people,
He will invade them with his troops.
A Hymn of Faith
Nor fruit be on the vines;
Though the labor of the olive may fail,
And the fields yield no food;
Though the flock may be cut off from the fold,
And there be no herd in the stalls—
