Habakkuk 3:3-15

3God comes from 1Teman, And the Holy One from Mount 2Paran. Selah. His 3splendor covers the heavens, And the 4earth is full of His praise.4His 5radiance is like the sunlight; He has rays flashing from His hand, And there is the hiding of His 6power.5Before Him goes 7pestilence, And 8plague comes 9after Him.6He stood and surveyed the earth; He looked and 10startled the nations. Yes, the perpetual mountains were shattered, The ancient hills 11collapsed. His ways are 12everlasting.7I saw the tents of Cushan under 13distress, The tent curtains of the land of 14Midian were trembling.

8Did the Lord rage against the 15rivers, Or was Your anger against the rivers, Or was Your wrath against the 16sea, That You 17rode on Your horses, On Your 18chariots of salvation?9Your 19bow was made bare, The rods of 20chastisement were sworn. Selah. You 21cleaved the earth with rivers.10The mountains saw You and quaked; The downpour of waters swept by. The deep 22uttered forth its voice, It lifted high its hands.1123Sun and moon stood in their places; They went away at the 24light of Your arrows, At the radiance of Your gleaming spear.12In indignation You 25marched through the earth; In anger You 2627trampled the nations.13You went forth for the 28salvation of Your people, For the salvation of Your 29anointed. You struck the 30head of the house of the evil To lay him open from 31thigh to neck. Selah.14You pierced with his 32own 33spears The head of his 34throngs. They 35stormed in to scatter 36us; Their exultation was like those Who 37devour the oppressed in secret.15You 38trampled on the sea with Your horses, On the 39surge of many waters.
