Habakkuk 3
3
1A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, set to Shigionoth.
2O LORD, I have heard the report of thee, and am afraid:
O LORD, 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 the LORD displeased against the rivers?
Was thine anger against the rivers,
Or thy wrath against the sea,
That thou didst ride upon thine 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 his voice, and lifted up his 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.
12Thou didst march through the land in indignation,
Thou didst thresh the nations in anger.
13Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people,
For the salvation of thine anointed;
Thou woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked,
Laying bare the foundation even unto the neck. Selah
14Thou didst pierce with his own staves the head of his warriors:
They came as a whirlwind to scatter me:
Their rejoicing was as to devour the poor secretly.
15Thou didst tread the sea with thine horses,
The heap of mighty waters.
16I heard, and my belly trembled,
My lips quivered at the voice;
Rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in my place:
That I should rest in the day of trouble,
When it cometh up against the people which invadeth him in troops.
17For though the fig tree shall not blossom,
Neither shall fruit be in the vines;
The labour of the olive shall fail,
And the fields shall yield no meat;
The flock shall be cut off from the fold,
And there shall be no herd in the stalls:
18Yet I will rejoice in the LORD,
I will joy in the God of my salvation.
19Jehovah the Lord, is my strength,
And he maketh my feet like hinds' feet,
And will make me to walk upon mine high places.
For the Chief Musician, on my stringed instruments.

Habacuc (Habakkuk) 3

1A PRAYER OF HABACUC THE PROPHET FOR IGNORANCES.
2O Lord, I have heard thy hearing, and was afraid. O Lord, thy work, in the midst of the years bring it to life: In the midst of the years thou shalt make it known: when thou art angry, thou wilt remember mercy.
3God will come from the south, and the holy one from mount Pharan: His glory covered the heavens, and the earth is full of his praise.
4His brightness shall be as the light; horns are in his hands: There is his strength hid:
5Death shall go before his face. And the devil shall go forth before his feet.
6He stood and measured the earth. He beheld, and melted the nations: and the ancient mountains were crushed to pieces. The hills of the world were bowed down by the journeys of his eternity.
7I saw the tents of Ethiopia for their iniquity, the curtains of the land of Madian shall be troubled.
8Wast thou angry, O Lord, with the rivers? or was thy wrath upon the rivers? or thy indignation in the sea? Who will ride upon thy horses: and thy chariots are salvation.
9Thou wilt surely take up thy bow: according to the oaths which thou hast spoken to the tribes. Thou wilt divide the rivers of the earth.
10The mountains saw thee, and were grieved: the great body of waters passed away. The deep put forth its voice: the deep lifted up its hands.
11The sun and the moon stood still in their habitation, in the light of thy arrows, they shall go in the brightness of thy glittering spear.
12In thy anger thou wilt tread the earth under foot: in thy wrath thou wilt astonish the nations.
13Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people: for salvation with thy Christ. Thou struckest the head of the house of the wicked: thou hast laid bare his foundation even to the neck.
14Thou hast cursed his sceptres, the head of his warriors, them that came out as a whirlwind to scatter me. Their joy was like that of him that devoureth the poor man in secret.
15Thou madest a way in the sea for thy horses, in the mud of many waters.
16I have heard and my bowels were troubled: my lips trembled at the voice. Let rottenness enter into my bones, and swarm under me. That I may rest in the day of tribulation: that I may go up to our people that are girded.
17For the fig tree shall not blossom: and there shall be no spring in the vines. The labour of the olive tree shall fail: and the fields shall yield no food: the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls.
18But I will rejoice in the Lord: and I will joy in God my Jesus.
19The Lord God is my strength: and he will make my feet like the feet of harts: and he the conqueror will lead me upon my high places singing psalms.
