Hab. 3:1 |
A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet in shigionoth. |
Hab. 3:2 |
O Jehovah, I have heard the report concerning You [and] am afraid. / O Jehovah, revive Your work / In the midst of the years; / In the midst of the years make [it] known; / In wrath remember compassion. |
Hab. 3:3 |
God comes from Teman, / Even the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah / His splendor covers the heavens, / And the earth is filled with His praise. |
Hab. 3:4 |
And [His] brightness is like the light: / Rays [come forth] from His hand, / And the hiding of His power is there. |
Hab. 3:5 |
Before Him goes pestilence, / And the fire bolt comes forth at His feet. |
Hab. 3:6 |
He stands and measures the earth; / He looks and startles the nations; / And the ancient mountains are shattered into dust, / And the everlasting hills sink down; / His goings are eternal. |
Hab. 3:7 |
I see the tents of Cushan / Under affliction; / The tent curtains of the land of Midian tremble. |
Hab. 3:8 |
Is it against the rivers, O Jehovah, / Against the rivers that Your anger is kindled? / Is Your overflowing wrath against the sea / That You ride upon Your horses, / Upon Your chariots of salvation? |
Hab. 3:9 |
Your bow is bared utterly; / The rods [of discipline] are sworn according to [Your] word. Selah / You cleave the earth with rivers. |
Hab. 3:10 |
The mountains see You; they writhe; / The tempest of water passes by; / The deep utters its voice, / It lifts its hands high. |
Hab. 3:11 |
The sun [and] the moon stand still in their high abode / At the light of Your arrows going forth, / At the brightness of Your glittering spear. |
Hab. 3:12 |
In wrath You march through the earth, / In anger You thresh the nations. |
Hab. 3:13 |
You go forth for the salvation of Your people, / For the salvation of Your anointed one, / You strike the head from the house of the wicked one, / Laying bare the foundation, even to the neck. Selah |
Hab. 3:14 |
You pierce, with his own staves, / The heads of his warriors. / They come out like a whirlwind to scatter me; / Their exultation is as if to devour the poor in secret. |
Hab. 3:15 |
You tread the sea with Your horses, / The heap of mighty waters. |
Hab. 3:16 |
I heard and my body trembled; / My lips quivered at the sound. / Rottenness entered my bones, / And I tremble in my place, / Because I must wait quietly for the day of distress, / When he who attacks comes up against the people. |
Hab. 3:17 |
For the fig tree will not sprout, / And there will be no yield on the vines; / The labor on the olive tree will fail, / And the fields will make no food; / The flock will be cut off from the fold, / And there will be no herd in the stalls. |
Hab. 3:18 |
Yet I will exult in Jehovah; / I will rejoice in the God of my salvation. |
Hab. 3:19 |
Jehovah the Lord is my strength; / And He makes my feet like hinds' [feet] / And will cause me to walk on my high places. / For the choir director, with my stringed instruments. |
