Habakkuk 3:2-16

2Jehovah, I heardH8085 the reportH8088 of thee, [and] I fearedH3372. Jehovah, revive thy workH6467 in the midstH7130 of the yearsH8141, In the midstH7130 of the yearsH8141 makeH3045 [it] knownH3045: In wrath rememberH2142 mercyH7355!

31GodH433 cameH935 from TemanH8487, And the HolyH6918 OneH6918 from mount ParanH6290. SelahH5542. His glory covereth the heavensH8064, And the earthH776 is fullH4390 of his praiseH8416.

4And [his] brightnessH5051 wasH1961 as the lightH216; Rays [came forth] from his handH3027; And there wasH1961 the hiding of his power.

5Before him wentH3318 the pestilenceH1698, And a burning flame wentH3318 forthH3318 at his feetH7272.

6He stoodH5975, and measured the earthH776; He beheld, and discomfited the nationsH1471; And the eternal mountainsH2042 were scatteredH6327, The everlasting hillsH1389 gave way: His waysH1979 are everlasting.

7I sawH7200 the tentsH168 of Cushan in affliction; The curtainsH3407 of the landH776 of MidianH4080 did trembleH7264.

8Was Jehovah wrathful with the riversH5104? Was thine angerH639 against the riversH5104? Was thy rage against the seaH3220, That thou didst rideH7392 upon thy horsesH5483, Thy chariotsH4818 of salvationH3444?

9Thy bowH7198 was made naked, The rodsH4294 [of discipline] sworn according to [thy] word. SelahH5542. Thou didst cleave the earthH776 with riversH5104.

10The mountainsH2022 sawH7200 thee, they were in travail: Torrents of watersH4325 passedH5674 by; The deepH8415 uttered its voiceH6963, LiftedH5375 up its handsH3027 on high.

11The sunH8121 [and] moonH3394 stoodH5975 stillH5975 in their habitation, At the lightH216 of thine arrowsH2671 which shot forth, — 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 didst smite off the headH7218 from the houseH1004 of the wickedH7563, LayingH6168 bareH6168 the foundationH3247 even to the neckH6677. SelahH5542.

14Thou didst strike through with his own spears the headH7218 of his leadersH7218: They came out as a whirlwind to scatterH6327 me, Whose exulting was as to devourH398 the afflictedH6041 secretly.

15Thou didst walk through the seaH3220 with thy horsesH5483, The heap of greatH7227 watersH4325.

16I heardH8085, and my bellyH990 trembledH7264; My lipsH8193 quivered at the voiceH6963; RottennessH7538 entered into my bonesH6106, and I trembledH7264 in my placeH8478, That I might restH5117 in the dayH3117 of distressH6869, When their invader shall comeH935 up against the peopleH5971.
