Revised Version 1895

1A PRAYERH8605 of HabakkukH2265 the prophetH5030, set to ShigionothH7692. 2O LORDH3068, I have heardH8085 the reportH8088 of thee, and am afraidH3372: O LORDH3068, reviveH2421 thy workH6467 in the midstH7130 of the yearsH8141, in the midstH7130 of the yearsH8141 makeH3045 it knownH3045; in wrathH7267 rememberH2142 mercyH7355. 3GodH433 cameH935 from TemanH8487, and the HolyH6918 One from mountH2022 ParanH6290.

His gloryH1935 coveredH3680 the heavensH8064, and the earthH776 was fullH4390 of his praiseH8416. 4And his brightnessH5051 was as the lightH216; he had raysH7161 coming forth from his handH3027: and there was the hidingH2253 of his powerH3027. 5BeforeH6440 him wentH3318 the pestilenceH1698, and fiery boltsH7565 wentH3318 forthH3318 at his feetH7272. 6He stoodH5975, and measured the earthH776; he beheld, and drove asunder the nationsH1471: and the eternalH5769 mountainsH2042 were scatteredH6327, the everlastingH5769 hillsH1389 did bowH7817; his goings were as of oldH5769. 7I sawH7200 the tentsH168 of CushanH3572 in afflictionH205: the curtainsH3407 of the landH776 of MidianH4080 did trembleH7264. 8Was the LORDH3068 displeased againstH5921 the riversH5104? was thine angerH639 againstH5921 the riversH5104, or thy wrathH5678 againstH5921 the seaH3220, that thou didst rideH7392 uponH5921 thine horsesH5483, uponH5921 thy chariotsH4818 of salvationH3444? 9Thy bowH7198 was madeH5783 quite bareH6181; the oathsH7621 to the tribesH4294 were a sure word.

SelahH5542

Thou didst cleave the earthH776 with riversH5104. 10The mountainsH2022 sawH7200 thee, and were afraid; the tempest of watersH4325 passedH5674 by: the deepH8415 utteredH5414 his voiceH6963, and liftedH5375 upH5375 his handsH3027 on highH7315. 11The sunH8121 and moonH3394 stoodH5975 stillH5975 in their habitationH2073; at the lightH216 of thine arrowsH2671 as they wentH1980, at the shiningH216 of thy glitteringH1300 spearH2595. 12Thou didst marchH6805 throughH776 the landH776 in indignationH2195, thou didst threshH1758 the nationsH1471 in angerH639. 13Thou wentest forthH3318 for the salvationH3468 of thy peopleH5971, for the salvationH3468 of thine anointedH4899; thou woundedst the headH7218 outH3318 of the houseH1004 of the wickedH7563, layingH6168 bareH6168 the foundationH3247 evenH5704 unto the neckH6677.

SelahH5542

14Thou didst pierce with his own staves the headH7218 of his warriors: they came as a whirlwind to scatterH6327 meH398: their rejoicing was as to devourH398 the poorH6041 secretly. 15Thou didst treadH1869 the seaH3220 with thine horsesH5483, the heap of mighty watersH4325. 16I heardH8085, and my bellyH990 trembledH7264, my lipsH8193 quiveredH6750 at the voiceH6963; rottennessH7538 enteredH935 intoH935 my bonesH6106, and I trembledH7264 in my placeH8478: that I should restH5117 in the dayH3117 of troubleH6869, when it cometh upH5927 againstH935 the peopleH5971 whichH834 invadeth him in troops. 17For thoughH3588 the figH8384 treeH8384 shall notH3808 blossom, neitherH3808 shall fruitH2981 be in the vinesH1612; the labour of the oliveH2132 shall failH3584, and the fieldsH7709 shall yieldH2981 noH3808 meat; the flockH6629 shall be cutH1504 offH1504 from the foldH4356, and there shall be noH3808 herdH1241 in the stallsH7517: 18Yet I will rejoiceH1523 in the LORDH3068, I will joy in the GodH430 of my salvationH3468. 19Jehovah, the LordH136, is my strengthH2428, and he maketh my feetH7272 like hinds’H355 feetH7272, and will makeH7760 meH5921 to walkH1869 uponH5921 mine highH1116 placesH1116. For the Chief Musician, on my stringedH5058 instrumentsH5058.
