Habakkuk 3:11–19

11 Sun and moon stood stillm in the heavens

at the glint of your flying arrows,n

at the lightningo of your flashing spear.

12 In wrath you strode through the earth

and in anger you threshedp the nations.

13 You came outq to deliverr your people,

to save your anointeds one.

You crushedt the leader of the land of wickedness,

you stripped him from head to foot.

14 With his own spear you pierced his head

when his warriors stormed out to scatter us,u

gloating as though about to devour

the wretchedv who were in hiding.

15 You trampled the seaw with your horses,

churning the great waters.x

16 I heard and my heart pounded,

my lips quivered at the sound;

decay crept into my bones,

and my legs trembled.y

Yet I will wait patientlyz for the day of calamity

to come on the nation invading us.

17 Though the fig tree does not bud

and there are no grapes on the vines,

though the olive crop fails

and the fields produce no food,a

though there are no sheep in the pen

and no cattle in the stalls,b

18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord,c

I will be joyful in God my Savior.d

19 The Sovereign Lord is my strength;e

he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,

he enables me to tread on the heights.f

For the director of music. On my stringed instruments.
