The Prayer Of Habakkuk

10 The mountains, have seen thee - they tremble, a downpour of waters, hath passed along, - the roaring deep, hath given forth, his voice, on high - his hand, hath he uplifted. 11 Sun, moon, have stood still, on high, - like light, thine arrows, speed along, like brightness, is the flash of thy spear. 12 In wrath, dost thou stride through the land, - in anger, dost thou thresh the nations.
