Habakkuk 3:3-16

3GodH433 comesH935 from 1TemanH8487, And the HolyH6918 OneH6918 from MountH2022 2ParanH6290. SelahH5542 His 3splendorH1935 coversH3680 the heavensH8064, And the 4earthH776 is fullH4390 of His praiseH8416.4His 5radianceH5051 is like the sunlightH216; He has raysH7161 flashing from His handH3027, And the hidingH2253 of His 6mightH5797 is thereH8033.5BeforeH6440 Him goesH1980 7plagueH1698, And 8plagueH7565 comesH3318 forthH3318 9afterH7272 Him.6He stoodH5975 and causedH4128 the earthH776 toH4128 shudderH4128; He lookedH7200 and 10causedH5425 the nationsH1471 toH5425 jumpH5425. Yes, the everlastingH5703 mountainsH2022 were shatteredH6483, The ancientH5769 hillsH1389 11collapsedH7817. His pathsH1979 are 12everlastingH5769.7I sawH7200 the tentsH168 of CushanH3572 underH8478 13distressH205, The tentH3407 curtainsH3407 of the landH776 of 14MidianH4080 were tremblingH7264.

8Did the LordH3068 rageH2734 against the 15riversH5104, OrH518 was Your angerH639 against the riversH5104, OrH518 was Your rageH5678 against the 16seaH3220, That You 17rodeH7392 on Your horsesH5483, On Your 18chariotsH4818 of salvationH3444?9You removedH6168 Your 19bowH7198 from its holder, The arrowsH4294 of Your wordH562 were 20swornH7621. SelahH5542 You 21dividedH1234 the earthH776 with riversH5104.10The mountainsH2022 sawH7200 You and quakedH2342; The downpourH2230 of watersH4325 sweptH5674 byH5674. The deepH8415 22raisedH5414 its voiceH6963, It liftedH5375 highH7315 its handsH3027.1123SunH8121 and moonH3394 stoodH5975 in their loftyH2073 placesH2073; They wentH1980 away at the 24lightH216 of Your arrowsH2671, At the radianceH5051 of Your flashingH1300 spearH2595.12In indignationH2195 You 25marchedH6805 through the earthH776; In angerH639 You 2627trampledH1758 the nationsH1471.13You wentH3318 forthH3318 for the 28salvationH3468 of Your peopleH5971, For the salvationH3468 of Your 29anointedH4899. You smashedH4272 the 30headH7218 of the houseH1004 of evilH7563 To uncoverH6168 him from 31footH3247 to neckH6677. SelahH554214You piercedH5344 with his 32own 33arrowsH4294 The headH7218 of his 34leadersH6518. They 35stormedH5590 inH5590 to scatterH6327 36us; Their arroganceH5951 was likeH3644 those Who 37devourH398 the oppressedH6041 in secretH4565.15You 38trampledH1869 on the seaH3220 with Your horsesH5483, On the 39foamH2563 of manyH7227 watersH4325.

16I heardH8085, and my 40innerH990 partsH990 41trembledH7264; At the soundH6963, my lipsH8193 quiveredH6750. DecayH7538 entersH935 my 42bonesH6106, And inH8478 my placeH8478 I trembleH7264; BecauseH834 I 43must 44waitH5117 quietlyH5117 for the dayH3117 of distressH6869, 45For the 46peopleH5971 to ariseH5927 who will attackH1464 us.
