Habakkuk 3:8-15

8Was your wrath against the rivers, O Lord? Was your anger against the rivers, or your indignation against the sea, when you rode on your horses, on your chariot of salvation?

9You stripped the sheath from your bow, calling for many arrows. Selah You split the earth with rivers.

10The mountains saw you and writhed; the raging waters swept on; the deep gave forth its voice; it lifted its hands on high.

11The sun and moon stood still in their place at the light of your arrows as they sped, at the flash of your glittering spear.

12You marched through the earth in fury; you threshed the nations in anger.

13You went out for the salvation of your people, for the salvation of your anointed. You crushed the head of the house of the wicked, laying him bare from thigh to neck. Selah

14You pierced with his own arrows the heads of his warriors, who came like a whirlwind to scatter me, rejoicing as if to devour the poor in secret.

15You trampled the sea with your horses, the surging of mighty waters.
