Hab.|3:1|-|A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet in |1|shigionoth.
Hab.|3:2|-|O Jehovah, I have heard the report concerning You and am afraid.O Jehovah, |1a|revive Your work
In the midst of the years;In the midst of the years make it known;
In wrath remember compassion.
Hab.|3:3|-|God comes from Teman,Even the |a|Holy One from Mount Paran. |1|Selah
His splendor covers the heavens,And the earth is filled with His praise.
Hab.|3:4|-|And His brightness is like the light:Rays come forth from His hand,
And the hiding of His power is there.
Hab.|3:5|-|Before Him goes pestilence,And the |a|fire bolt comes forth at His feet.
Hab.|3:6|-|He stands and |1|measures the earth;He looks and startles the nations;
And the ancient mountains are |a|shattered into dust,And the everlasting hills sink down;
His goings are eternal.
Hab.|3:7|-|I see the tents of |1|CushanUnder affliction;
The tent curtains of the land of Midian tremble.
Hab.|3:8|-|Is it against the rivers, O Jehovah,Against the rivers that Your anger is kindled?
Is Your overflowing wrath against the seaThat You |a|ride upon Your horses,
Upon Your chariots of salvation?
Hab.|3:9|-|Your bow is bared utterly;The rods of discipline are sworn according to Your word. Selah
You cleave the earth with rivers.
Hab.|3:10|-|The mountains see you; they |a|writhe;The tempest of water passes by;
The deep utters its voice,It lifts its hands high.
Hab.|3:11|-|The sun and the moon stand |a|still in their high abodeAt the light of Your arrows going forth,
At the brightness of Your glittering spear.
Hab.|3:12|-|In wrath You march through the earth,In anger You |a|thresh the nations.
Hab.|3:13|-|You go forth for the |a|salvation of Your people,For the salvation of Your anointed one,
You strike the head from the house of the wicked one,Laying bare the foundation, even to the neck. Selah
Hab.|3:14|-|You pierce, with his own staves,The heads of his warriors.
They come out like a whirlwind to scatter me;Their exultation is as if to devour the poor in secret.
Hab.|3:15|-|You tread the sea with Your horses,The heap of mighty waters.
Hab.|3:16|-|I heard and my body trembled;My lips quivered at the sound.
Rottenness entered my bones,And I tremble in my place,
Because I must wait quietly for the day of distress,When |1|he who attacks comes up against the people.
Hab.|3:17|-|For the fig tree will not sprout,And there will be no yield on the vines;
The labor on the olive tree will fail,And the fields will make no food;
The flock will be cut off from the fold,And there will be no herd in the stalls.
Hab.|3:18|-|Yet I will |a|exult in Jehovah;I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.
Hab.|3:19|-|Jehovah the Lord is my |a|strength;And He makes my feet like |b|hinds’ feet
And will cause me to walk on my |c|high places.For the choir director, with |1|my stringed instruments.
