Habakkuk 3

New American Standard Bible 2020

God’s People Saved

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

2LordH3068, I have 2heardH8085 3the reportH8088 about You, and 4I wasH3372 5afraidH3372. LordH3068, 6reviveH2421 7Your workH6467 in the midstH7130 of the yearsH8141, In the midstH7130 of the yearsH8141 makeH3045 it knownH3045. In angerH7267 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 the hidingH2253 of His 15mightH5797 is thereH8033.5BeforeH6440 Him goesH1980 16plagueH1698, And 17plagueH7565 comesH3318 forthH3318 18afterH7272 Him.6He stoodH5975 and causedH4128 the earthH776 toH4128 shudderH4128; He lookedH7200 and 19causedH5425 the nationsH1471 toH5425 jumpH5425. Yes, the everlastingH5703 mountainsH2022 were shatteredH6483, The ancientH5769 hillsH1389 20collapsedH7817. His pathsH1979 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 rageH5678 against the 25seaH3220, That You 26rodeH7392 on Your horsesH5483, On Your 27chariotsH4818 of salvationH3444?9You removedH6168 Your 28bowH7198 from its holder, The arrowsH4294 of Your wordH562 were 29swornH7621. SelahH5542 You 30dividedH1234 the earthH776 with riversH5104.10The mountainsH2022 sawH7200 You and quakedH2342; The downpourH2230 of watersH4325 sweptH5674 byH5674. The deepH8415 31raisedH5414 its voiceH6963, It liftedH5375 highH7315 its handsH3027.1132SunH8121 and moonH3394 stoodH5975 in their loftyH2073 placesH2073; They wentH1980 away at the 33lightH216 of Your arrowsH2671, At the radianceH5051 of Your flashingH1300 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 smashedH4272 the 39headH7218 of the houseH1004 of evilH7563 To uncoverH6168 him from 40footH3247 to neckH6677. SelahH554214You piercedH5344 with his 41own 42arrowsH4294 The headH7218 of his 43leadersH6518. They 44stormedH5590 inH5590 to scatterH6327 45us; Their arroganceH5951 was likeH3644 those Who 46devourH398 the oppressedH6041 in secretH4565.15You 47trampledH1869 on the seaH3220 with Your horsesH5483, On the 48foamH2563 of manyH7227 watersH4325.

16I heardH8085, and my 49innerH990 partsH990 50trembledH7264; At the soundH6963, my lipsH8193 quiveredH6750. DecayH7538 entersH935 my 51bonesH6106, And inH8478 my placeH8478 I trembleH7264; BecauseH834 I 52must 53waitH5117 quietlyH5117 for the dayH3117 of distressH6869, 54For the 55peopleH5971 to ariseH5927 who will attackH1464 us.17EvenH3588 ifH3588 the 56figH8384 treeH8384 does not blossomH6524, And thereH369 isH369 noH369 57fruitH2981 on the vinesH1612, If the yieldH4639 of the 58oliveH2132 failsH3584, And the fieldsH7709 produceH6213 noH3808 foodH400, Even if the 59flockH6629 disappearsH1504 from the foldH4356, And thereH369 areH369 60noH369 cattleH1241 in the stallsH7517,18Yet I will 61triumphH5937 in the LordH3068, I will 62rejoiceH1523 in the 63GodH430 of my salvationH3468.19The LordH136 64GodH3068 is my 65strengthH2428, And 66He has madeH7760 my feetH7272 like deer’sH355 feet, And has me walkH1869 on my 67highH1116 placesH1116. For the choirH5329 directorH5329, on my stringedH5058 instrumentsH5058.
