| 3:1 |
A prayer of the prophet Habakkuk according to Shigionoth.
|
| 3:2 |
O LORD, I have heard of your renown, and I stand in awe, O LORD, of your work. In our own time revive it; in our own time make it known; in wrath may you remember mercy.
|
| 3:3 |
God came from Teman, the Holy One from Mount Paran.Selah His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise.
|
| 3:4 |
The brightness was like the sun; rays came forth from his hand, where his power lay hidden.
|
| 3:5 |
Before him went pestilence, and plague followed close behind.
|
| 3:6 |
He stopped and shook the earth; he looked and made the nations tremble. The eternal mountains were shattered; along his ancient pathways the everlasting hills sank low.
|
| 3:7 |
I saw the tents of Cushan under affliction; the tent-curtains of the land of Midian trembled.
|
| 3:8 |
Was your wrath against the rivers, O LORD? Or your anger against the rivers, or your rage against the sea, when you drove your horses, your chariots to victory?
|
| 3:9 |
|
| 3:10 |
The mountains saw you, and writhed; a torrent of water swept by; the deep gave forth its voice. The sun raised high its hands;
|
| 3:11 |
the moon stood still in its exalted place, at the light of your arrows speeding by, at the gleam of your flashing spear.
|
| 3:12 |
In fury you trod the earth, in anger you trampled nations.
|
| 3:13 |
You came forth to save your people, to save your anointed. You crushed the head of the wicked house, laying it bare from foundation to roof. Selah
|
| 3:14 |
You pierced with their own arrows the head of his warriors, who came like a whirlwind to scatter us, gloating as if ready to devour the poor who were in hiding.
|
| 3:15 |
You trampled the sea with your horses, churning the mighty waters.
|
| 3:16 |
I hear, and I tremble within; my lips quiver at the sound. Rottenness enters into my bones, and my steps tremble beneath me. I wait quietly for the day of calamity to come upon the people who attack us.
|
| 3:17 |
Though the fig tree does not blossom, and no fruit is on the vines; though the produce of the olive fails, and the fields yield no food; though the flock is cut off from the fold, and there is no herd in the stalls,
|
| 3:18 |
yet I will rejoice in the LORD; I will exult in the God of my salvation.
|
| 3:19 |
GOD, the Lord, is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, and makes me tread upon the heights. To the leader: with stringed instruments.
