engLXXup: Habakkuk 3

=> Chapters

 [1] A prayer of the prophet Habakkuk, with a song.

[2] O Lord, I have heard thy report, and was afraid:

I considered thy works, and was amazed:

Thou shalt be known between the two living creatures,

Thou shalt be acknowledged when the years draw nigh;

Thou shalt be manifested when the time is come;

When my soul is troubled, thou wilt in wrath remember mercy.

[3] God shall come from Teman,

And the Holy One from the dark shady Mount Paran. Pause.

[4] His excellence covered the heavens,

And the earth was full of his praise.

And his brightness shall be as light;

There were horns in his hands,

And he caused a mighty love of his strength.

[5] Before his face shall go a report,

And it shall go forth into the plains,

[6] The earth stood at his feet and trembled:

He beheld, and the nations melted away:

The mountains were violently burst through,

The everlasting hills melted at his everlasting going forth.

[7] Because of troubles I looked upon the tents of the Ethiopians:

The tabernacles also of the land of Midian shall be dismayed.

[8] Wast thou angry, O Lord, with the rivers?

Or was thy wrath against the rivers,

Or thine anger against the sea?

For thou wilt mount on thy horses,

And thy chariots are salvation.

[9] Surely thou didst bend thy bow

At scepters, saith the Lord. Pause.

The land of rivers shall be torn asunder.

[10] The nations shall see thee and be in pain,

As thou dost divide the moving waters:

The deep uttered her voice,

And raised her form on high.

[11] The sun was exalted, and the moon stood still in her course:

Thy darts shall go forth at the light,

At the brightness of the gleaming of thine arms.

[12] Thou wilt bring low the land with threatening,

And in wrath thou wilt break down the nations.

[13] Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people,

To save thine anointed:

Thou shalt bring death on the heads of transgressors;

Thou hast brought bands upon their neck. Pause.

[14] Thou didst cut asunder the heads of princes with amazement,

They shall tremble in it;

They shall burst their bridles,

They shall be as a poor man devouring in secret.

[15] And thou dost cause thy horses to enter the sea,

Disturbing much water.

[16] I watched, and my belly trembled

At the sound of the prayer of my lips,

And trembling entered into my bones,

And my frame was troubled within me;

I will rest in the day of affliction,

From going up to the people of my sojourning.

[17] For though the fig tree shall bear no fruit,

And there shall be no produce on the vines;

The labor of the olive shall fail,

And the fields shall produce no food:

The sheep have failed from the pasture,

And there are no oxen at the cribs;

[18] Yet I will exult in the Lord,

I will joy in God my Savior.

[19] The Lord God is my strength,

And he will perfectly strengthen my feet;

He mounts me upon high places,

That I may conquer by his song.
