Habakkuk 3:8-15

8The Lord is not angry with the rivers, is he? If you are angry with the rivers, if you are furious with the sea, ⌞why⌟ do you ride your horses, your chariots of salvation?

9You get your bow ready for action, for the arrows ⌞you⌟ promised. Selah You split the land with rivers.

10The mountains look at you. They writhe in pain. Floodwaters pass by. The deep ocean roars. Its waves rise up high.

11The sun and the moon stand still. They scatter at the light of your arrows, at the bright lightning of your spear.

12You march through the earth with fury. You trample the nations in anger.

13You go out to save your people, to save your anointed. You crush the leader of the wicked household, stripping him bare from head to toe. Selah

14You pierce the leader of his gang with his own arrows. His soldiers come like a violent storm to scatter me. They are arrogant like those who secretly eat up the poor.

15You march with your horses into the sea, into the mighty raging waters.
