Habakkuk 3:2–11

2O Jehovah, I have heard the report of thee, and am afraid:

O Jehovah, revive thy work in the midst of the years;

In the midst of the years make it known;

In wrath remember mercy.

3God came from Teman,

And the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah

His glory covered the heavens,

And the earth was full of his praise.

4And his brightness was as the light;

He had rays coming forth from his hand;

And there was the hiding of his power.

5Before him went the pestilence,

And fiery bolts went forth at his feet.

6He stood, and measured the earth;

He beheld, and drove asunder the nations;

And the eternal mountains were scattered;

The everlasting hills did bow;

His goings were as of old.

7I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction;

The curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.

8Was Jehovah displeased with the rivers?

Was thine anger against the rivers,

Or thy wrath against the sea,

That thou didst ride upon thy horses,

Upon thy chariots of salvation?

9Thy bow was made quite bare;

The oaths to the tribes were a sure word. Selah

Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers.

10The mountains saw thee, and were afraid;

The tempest of waters passed by;

The deep uttered its voice,

And lifted up its hands on high.

11The sun and moon stood still in their habitation,

At the light of thine arrows as they went,

At the shining of thy glittering spear.
