Habakkuk 3

^aA prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth.

²O Lord, I have heard ^bthy speech, and ^cwas afraid:

O Lord, ^drevive ^ethy work in the midst of the years,

In the midst of the years make known;

^fIn wrath remember mercy.

³God came from ^gTeman,

And ^hthe Holy One from mount Paran. Selah.

His glory covered the heavens,

And the earth was full of his praise.

⁴And ⁱhis brightness was as the light;

He had horns coming out of his hand:

And ^jthere was the hiding of his power.

^5kBefore him went the pestilence,

And ^klburning coals went forth ^mat his feet.

⁶He stood, and measured the earth:

He beheld, and ⁿdrove asunder the nations;

And ^othe everlasting ^pmountains were scattered,

The perpetual ^phills did bow:

His ways are everlasting.

⁷I saw the tents of ^qCushan in ^raffliction:

And the curtains of the land of ^tMidian did tremble.

^8uWas the Lord displeased against ^vthe rivers?

Was thine anger against ^vthe rivers?

^uWas thy wrath against the sea,

That ^wthou didst ride upon thine horses and thy chariots of salvation?

^9xThy bow was made quite naked,

^yAccording to the oaths of the tribes, even thy word. Selah.

^zThou didst cleave the earth with ^vrivers.

^10aThe mountains ^bsaw thee, and ^bthey trembled:

The overflowing of the water passed by:

^cThe deep uttered his voice,

And ^dlift up his hands on high.

^11eThe sun and moon stood still in ^ftheir habitation:

At the light of ^gthine arrows they went,

And at ⁱthe shining of thy glittering spear.

^12jThou didst march through the land in indignation,

Thou didst ^kthresh the heathen in anger.

^13jThou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people,

Even for salvation with ^lthine anointed;

^mThou woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked,

ⁿBy discovering the foundation unto ^othe neck. Selah.

¹⁴Thou didst strike through with his staves the head of ^phis villages:

^qThey came out as a whirlwind ^rto scatter me:

Their rejoicing was as to devour the poor ^ssecretly.

^15tThou didst walk through the sea ^uwith thine horses,

Through the heap of great waters.

^16vWhen I heard, ^wmy belly trembled;

My lips quivered at the voice:

^xRottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself,

That ^yI might rest in the day of trouble:

When he cometh up unto the people, ^zhe will invade them with his troops.

¹⁷Although the fig tree shall not blossom,

Neither shall fruit be in the vines;

The labour of the olive shall ^zzfail,

And the fields shall yield no meat;

The flock shall be ^acut off from ^bthe fold,

And there shall be no herd in the stalls:

^18cYet I will rejoice in the Lord,

^dI will joy in the God of my salvation.

¹⁹The Lord God is my strength,

And he will make ^emy feet like hinds’ feet,

And ^fhe will make me to walk ^efgupon mine high places.

^hTo the chief singer on ⁱmy stringed instruments.
