Habakkuk 3:2-16

2O Jehovah, I have heardH8085 the reportH8088 of thee, and am afraidH3372:O Jehovah, revive thy workH6467 in the midstH7130 of the yearsH8141;In the midstH7130 of the yearsH8141 makeH3045 it knownH3045;In wrath rememberH2142 mercyH7355.3GodH433 cameH935 from TemanH8487,And the HolyH6918 OneH6918 from mount ParanH6290.[SelahH5542His glory coveredH3680 the heavensH8064,And the earthH776 was fullH4390 of his praiseH8416.4AndhisbrightnessH5051 wasH1961 as the lightH216;He had rayscoming forthfrom his handH3027;And there wasH1961 the hiding of his power.5Before him wentH3318 the pestilenceH1698,And fiery bolts wentH3318 forthH3318 at his feetH7272.6He stoodH5975, and measured the earthH776;He beheld, and drove asunder the nationsH1471;And the eternal mountainsH2042 were scatteredH6327;The everlasting hillsH1389 did bowH7817;His goings were as of old.7I sawH7200 the tentsH168 of Cushan in affliction;The curtainsH3407 of the landH776 of MidianH4080 did trembleH7264.8Was Jehovah displeased with the riversH5104?Was thine angerH639 against the riversH5104,Or thy wrathH5678 against the seaH3220,That thou didst rideH7392 upon thy horsesH5483,Upon thy chariotsH4818 of salvationH3444?9Thy bowH7198 was made quite bare;The oathsH7621 to the tribesH4294 were asure word.[SelahH5542Thou didst cleave the earthH776 with riversH5104.10The mountainsH2022 sawH7200 thee, and were afraid;The tempest of watersH4325 passedH5674 by;The deepH8415 uttered its voiceH6963,And liftedH5375 up its handsH3027 on high.11The sunH8121 and moonH3394 stoodH5975 stillH5975 in their habitation,At the lightH216 of thine arrowsH2671 as they wentH1980,At the shining of thy glittering spearH2595.12Thou didst marchH6805 through the landH776 in indignationH2195;Thou didst threshH1758 the nationsH1471 in angerH639.13Thou wentest forthH3318 for the salvationH3468 of thy peopleH5971,For the salvationH3468 of thine anointedH4899;Thou woundedst the headH7218 out of the houseH1004 of the wickedH7563 man,LayingH6168 bareH6168 the foundationH3247 even unto the neckH6677.[SelahH554214Thou didst pierce with his own staves the headH7218 of his warriors:They came as a whirlwind to scatterH6327 me;Their rejoicing was as to devourH398 the poorH6041 secretly.15Thou didst treadH1869 the seaH3220 with thy horsesH5483,The heap of mighty watersH4325.16I heardH8085, and my body trembledH7264,My lipsH8193 quivered at the voiceH6963;RottennessH7538 entereth into my bonesH6106, and I trembleH7264 in my placeH8478;Because I must wait quietly for the dayH3117 of troubleH6869,For the comingH935 up of the peopleH5971 that invadeth us.
