3 A prayer of the prophet Habakkuk. According to Shigionoth.A,d
2 Lord, I have heard the report about you;
Lord, I stand in awe of your deeds.e
Revive your work in these years;
make it known in these years.
In your wrath remember mercy!f
the Holy One from Mount Paran.g
Selah
His splendor covers the heavens,
and the earth is full of his praise.h
4 His brilliance is like light;
rays are flashing from his hand.
This is where his power is hidden.
and pestilence follows in his steps.
6 He stands and shakesB the earth;i
he looks and startles the nations.
The age-old mountains break apart;
the ancient hills sink down.j
His pathways are ancient.k
7 I see the tents of CushanC in distress;
the tent curtains of the land of Midian tremble.
8 Are you angry at the rivers, Lord?
Is your wrath against the rivers?
Or is your fury against the sea
when you ride on your horses,
your victorious chariot?l
9 You took the sheath from your bow;
the arrows are readyD to be used with an oath.E,m
Selah
You split the earth with rivers.
10 The mountains see you and shudder;n
a downpour of water sweeps by.
The deep roars with its voiceo
and lifts its wavesF high.
11 Sun and moon stand still in their lofty residence,p
at the flash of your flying arrows,
at the brightness of your shining spear.
12 You march across the earth with indignation;
you trample down the nations in wrath.q
13 You come out to save your people,r
to save your anointed.G
You crush the leader of the house of the wicked
and strip him from footH to neck.
Selah
with his own spears;
his warriors storm out to scatter us,
gloating as if ready to secretly devour the weak.
15 You tread the sea with your horses,
stirring up the vast water.s
HABAKKUK’S CONFIDENCE IN GOD EXPRESSED
16 I heard, and I trembled within;t
my lips quivered at the sound.
Rottenness entered my bones;
I trembled where I stood.
Now I must quietly wait for the day of distressu
to come against the people invading us.
17 Though the fig tree does not bud
and there is no fruit on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
and the fields produce no food,
though the flocks disappear from the pen
and there are no herds in the stalls,
18 yet I will celebrate in the Lord;
I will rejoice in the God of my salvation!v
19 The Lord my Lord is my strength;w
he makes my feet like those of a deerx
and enables me to walk on mountain heights!y
For the choir director: onI stringed instruments.

About Christian Standard BibleThe Christian Standard Bible (CSB) is a highly trustworthy, faithful translation that is proven to be the optimal blend of accuracy and readability. It’s as literal to the original as possible without sacrificing clarity. The CSB is poised to become the translation that pastors rely on and Bible readers turn to again and again to read and to share with others. The CSB is an original translation: more than 100 scholars from 17 denominations translated directly from the best available Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic source texts into English. Its source texts are the standard used by scholars and seminaries today. The CSB is trustworthy: the conservative, evangelical scholars of the CSB affirm the authority of Scripture as the inerrant Word of God and seek the highest level of faithfulness to the original and accuracy in their translation. These scholars and LifeWay, the non-profit ministry that stewards the CSB, also champion the Bible against cultural trends that would compromise its truths. The CSB is clear: it is as literal a translation of the ancient source texts as possible, but, in the many places throughout Scripture where a word-for-word rendering might obscure the meaning for a modern audience, it uses a more dynamic translation. In all cases, the intent is to convey the original meaning of God’s Word as faithfully and as clearly as possible. |
