Habakkuk 3 \u2013 Complete<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1 <\/sup>Prayer of the prophet Habakkuk concerning Sigionote.
2 <\/sup>I have heard, O Lord, your word and I trembled; revive, O Lord, your work in the midst of the years, and in the midst of the years make it known; in your anger, remember mercy.
3 <\/sup>God came from Teman, and from the mountain of Paran the Holy One (Selah). His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was filled with His praise.
4 <\/sup>And His brightness was like the light; brilliant rays issued from His hand, and there was the hiding place of His power.
5 <\/sup>Pestilence went ahead of Him, and burning coals emerged from His steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6 <\/sup>He stopped and measured the earth; He looked and divided the nations; and the everlasting mountains were crushed; the eternal hills sank, for the everlasting ways belong to Him.
7 <\/sup>I saw the tents of Cush in distress; the curtains of the land of Midian trembled.
8 <\/sup>Is it against the rivers, O Lord, that You are angry? Is Your anger against the streams, or is Your fury against the sea, since You ride on Your horses and in Your chariots of salvation?
9 <\/sup>Your bow was displayed; the oaths made by the nations were a sure word. (Selah.) You split the earth with rivers.
10 <\/sup>The mountains saw You and trembled; the floodwaters passed; the deep uttered its voice and lifted up its hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11 <\/sup>The sun and the moon halted in their dwellings; they moved by the light of Your arrows, by the brilliance of the flash of Your spear.
12 <\/sup>With indignation You marched through the earth, and with anger You trampled the nations.
13 <\/sup>You came forth for the salvation of Your people, for the salvation of Your anointed; You struck the head of the house of the wicked, exposing its foundation down to the neck. (Selah.)
14 <\/sup>You pierced with Your own spears the head of their towns; they assailed me like a tempest to scatter me; they exulted as if they were about to devour the poor in secret.
15 <\/sup>You marched with Your horses across the sea, over the mass of mighty waters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

16 <\/sup>Upon hearing it, my very bowels were disturbed; my lips trembled at Your voice; decay entered my bones, and I shuddered within; in the day of distress I will rest, when You rise against the people who invade with their armies.
17 <\/sup>For even if the fig tree does not blossom, nor is there fruit on the vine; even if the olive yield fails, and the fields produce no food; even if the flocks of the sheepfold are carried off, and there is no cattle in the stalls;
18 <\/sup>yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will exult in the God of my salvation.
19 <\/sup>The Lord God is my strength, and He will make my feet like the feet of a deer, and enable me to tread upon my high places. (For the chief musician, on my stringed instruments.)<\/p>\n\n\n
