Habakkuk 3

New American Standard Bible 1995

God’s Deliverance of His People

1A prayerH8605 of HabakkukH2265 the prophetH5030, accordingH5921 to 1ShigionothH7692.

2LordH3068, I have 2heardH8085 3the reportH8088 about You and 4I 5fearH3372. O LordH3068, 6reviveH2421 7Your workH6467 in the midstH7130 of the yearsH8141, In the midstH7130 of the yearsH8141 makeH3045 it knownH3045; In wrathH7267 rememberH2142 89mercyH7355.

3GodH433 comesH935 from 10TemanH8487, And the HolyH6918 OneH6918 from MountH2022 11ParanH6290. SelahH5542. His 12splendorH1935 coversH3680 the heavensH8064, And the 13earthH776 is fullH4390 of His praiseH8416.4His 14radianceH5051 is like the sunlightH216; He has raysH7161 flashing from His handH3027, And thereH8033 is the hidingH2253 of His 15powerH5797.5BeforeH6440 Him goesH1980 16pestilenceH1698, And 17plagueH7565 comesH3318 18afterH7272 Him.6He stoodH5975 and surveyedH4058 the earthH776; He lookedH7200 and 19startledH5425 the nationsH1471. Yes, the perpetualH5703 mountainsH2022 were shatteredH6483, The ancientH5769 hillsH1389 20collapsedH7817. His waysH1979 are 21everlastingH5769.7I sawH7200 the tentsH168 of CushanH3572 underH8478 22distressH205, The tentH3407 curtainsH3407 of the landH776 of 23MidianH4080 were tremblingH7264.

8Did the LordH3068 rageH2734 against the 24riversH5104, OrH518 was Your angerH639 against the riversH5104, OrH518 was Your wrathH5678 against the 25seaH3220, That You 26rodeH7392 on Your horsesH5483, On Your 27chariotsH4818 of salvationH3444?9Your 28bowH7198 was madeH5783 bareH6181H5783, The rodsH4294 of 29chastisementH561 were swornH7621. SelahH5542. You 30cleavedH1234 the earthH776 with riversH5104.10The mountainsH2022 sawH7200 You and quakedH2342; The downpourH2230 of watersH4325 sweptH5674 by. The deepH8415 31utteredH5414 forthH5414 its voiceH6963, It liftedH5375 highH7315 its handsH3027.1132SunH8121 and moonH3394 stoodH5975 in their placesH2073; They wentH1980 away at the 33lightH216 of Your arrowsH2671, At the radianceH5051 of Your gleamingH1300 spearH2595.12In indignationH2195 You 34marchedH6805 through the earthH776; In angerH639 You 3536trampledH1758 the nationsH1471.13You wentH3318 forthH3318 for the 37salvationH3468 of Your peopleH5971, For the salvationH3468 of Your 38anointedH4899. You struckH4272 the 39headH7218 of the houseH1004 of the evilH7563 To layH6168 him openH6168 from 40thighH3247 to neckH6677. SelahH5542.14You piercedH5344 with his 41own 42spearsH4294 The headH7218 of his 43throngsH6518. They 44stormedH5590 in to scatterH6327 45us; Their exultationH5951 was likeH3644 those Who 46devourH398 the oppressedH6041 in secretH4565.15You 47trampledH1869 on the seaH3220 with Your horsesH5483, On the 48surgeH2563 of manyH7227 watersH4325.

16I heardH8085 and my 49inwardH990 partsH990 50trembledH7264, At the soundH6963 my lipsH8193 quiveredH6750. DecayH7538 entersH935 my 51bonesH6106, And in my placeH8478 I trembleH7264. BecauseH834 I must 52waitH5117 quietlyH5117 for the dayH3117 of distressH6869, 53For the 54peopleH5971 to ariseH5927 who will invadeH1464 us.17ThoughH3588 the 55figH8384 treeH8384 should not blossomH6524 And thereH369 be noH369 56fruitH2981 on the vinesH1612, Though the yieldH4639 of the 57oliveH2132 should failH3584 And the fieldsH7709 produceH6213 noH3808 foodH400, Though the 58flockH6629 should be cutH1504 offH1504 from the foldH4356 And thereH369 be 59noH369 cattleH1241 in the stallsH7517,18Yet I will 60exultH5937 in the LordH3068, I will 61rejoiceH1523 in the 62GodH430 of my salvationH3468.19The LordH136 63GodH3068 is my 64strengthH2428, And 65He has madeH7760 my feetH7272 like hinds’H355 feet, And makes me walkH1869 on my 66highH1116 placesH1116. For the choirH5329 directorH5329, on my stringedH5058 instrumentsH5058.
