Habakkuk 3:3-12

3God comes from Teman, the Holy One from Mount Paran.Selah His splendor covers the heavens, and the earth is full of his praise.

4His brilliance is like light; rays are flashing from his hand. This is where his power is hidden.

5Plague goes before him, and pestilence follows in his steps.

6He stands and shakes the earth; he looks and startles the nations. The age-old mountains break apart; the ancient hills sink down. His pathways are ancient.

7I see the tents of Cushan in distress; the tent curtains of the land of Midian tremble.

8Are you angry at the rivers, Lord? Is your wrath against the rivers? Or is your fury against the sea when you ride on your horses, your victorious chariot?

9You took the sheath from your bow; the arrows are ready to be used with an oath.Selah You split the earth with rivers.

10The mountains see you and shudder; a downpour of water sweeps by. The deep roars with its voice and lifts its waves high.

11Sun and moon stand still in their lofty residence, at the flash of your flying arrows, at the brightness of your shining spear.

12You march across the earth with indignation; you trample down the nations in wrath.
