# Chapter 3
|
||
1 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, on Shigionoth.
|
||
2 O Lord, I have heard Your speech and was afraid;
|
||
O Lord, revive Your work in the midst of the years!
|
||
In the midst of the years make it known;
|
||
In wrath remember mercy.
|
||
3 God came from Teman,
|
||
The Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah
|
||
His glory covered the heavens,
|
||
And the earth was full of His praise.
|
||
4 His brightness was like the light;
|
||
He had rays flashing from His hand,
|
||
And there His power was hidden.
|
||
5 Before Him went pestilence,
|
||
And fever followed at His feet.
|
||
6 He stood and measured the earth;
|
||
He looked and startled the nations.
|
||
And the everlasting mountains were scattered,
|
||
The perpetual hills bowed.
|
||
His ways are everlasting.
|
||
7 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction;
|
||
The curtains of the land of Midian trembled.
|
||
8 O Lord, were You displeased with the rivers,
|
||
Was Your anger against the rivers,
|
||
Was Your wrath against the sea,
|
||
That You rode on Your horses,
|
||
Your chariots of salvation?
|
||
9 Your bow was made quite ready;
|
||
Oaths were sworn over Your arrows. Selah
|
||
You divided the earth with rivers.
|
||
10 The mountains saw You and trembled;
|
||
The overflowing of the water passed by.
|
||
The deep uttered its voice,
|
||
And lifted its hands on high.
|
||
11 The sun and moon stood still in their habitation;
|
||
At the light of Your arrows they went,
|
||
At the shining of Your glittering spear.
|
||
12 You marched through the land in indignation;
|
||
You trampled the nations in anger.
|
||
13 You went forth for the salvation of Your people,
|
||
For salvation with Your Anointed.
|
||
You struck the head from the house of the wicked,
|
||
By laying bare from foundation to neck. Selah
|
||
14 You thrust through with his own arrows
|
||
The head of his villages.
|
||
They came out like a whirlwind to scatter me;
|
||
Their rejoicing was like feasting on the poor in secret.
|
||
15 You walked through the sea with Your horses,
|
||
Through the heap of great waters.
|
||
16 When I heard, my body trembled;
|
||
My lips quivered at the voice;
|
||
Rottenness entered my bones;
|
||
And I trembled in myself,
|
||
That I might rest in the day of trouble.
|
||
When he comes up to the people,
|
||
He will invade them with his troops.
|
||
17 Though the fig tree may not blossom,
|
||
Nor fruit be on the vines;
|
||
Though the labor of the olive may fail,
|
||
And the fields yield no food;
|
||
Though the flock may be cut off from the fold,
|
||
And there be no herd in the stalls—
|
||
18 Yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
|
||
I will joy in the God of my salvation.
|
||
19 The Lord God is my strength;
|
||
He will make my feet like deer’s feet,
|
||
And He will make me walk on my high hills.
|
||
To the Chief Musician. With my stringed instruments. |
