Habakkuk 3:4–12

⁴His brilliance is like light;

rays are flashing from His hand.

This is where His power is hidden.

⁵Plague goes before Him,

and pestilence follows in His steps.

⁶He stands and shakes ^kthe earth; ^l

He looks and startles the nations.

The age-old mountains break apart;

the ancient hills sink down. ^m

His pathways are ancient. ⁿ

⁷I see the tents of Cushan ^oin distress;

the tent curtains of the land of Midian tremble.

⁸Are You angry at the rivers, Lord?

Is Your wrath against the rivers?

Or is Your rage against the sea

when You ride on Your horses,

Your victorious chariot? ^p

⁹You took the sheath from Your bow;

the arrows are ready ^qto be used with an oath. ^rsSelah

You split the earth with rivers.

¹⁰The mountains see You and shudder; ^t

a downpour of water sweeps by.

The deep roars with its voice ^u

and lifts its waves ^vhigh.

¹¹Sun and moon stand still in their lofty residence, ^w

at the flash of Your flying arrows,

at the brightness of Your shining spear.

¹²You march across the earth with indignation;

You trample down the nations in wrath. ^x
