Habakkuk:3
Seeker Overlay ON
*
A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet ,
set to Shigionoth .
*
O LORD ,
I have heard the report of thee ,
and am afraid .
O LORD ,
revive thy work in the midst of the years .
In the midst of the years make it known .
In wrath remember mercy .
*
God came from Teman ,
and the Holy One from mount Paran .
Selah .
His glory covered the heavens ,
and the earth was full of his praise .
*
And [
his ]
brightness was as the light .
He had rays from his hand ,
and there was the hiding of his power .
*
Before him went the pestilence .
And fiery bolts went forth at his feet .
*
He stood ,
and measured the earth .
He beheld ,
and drove apart the nations .
And the eternal mountains were scattered .
The everlasting hills bowed .
His goings were [
as ]
of old .
*
I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction .
The curtains of the land of Midian trembled .
*
Was LORD displeased with the rivers ?
Was thine anger against the rivers ,
or thy wrath against the sea ,
that thou rode upon thy horses ,
upon thy chariots of salvation ?
*
Thy bow was made quite bare .
The oaths to the tribes were a [
sure ]
word .
Selah .
Thou split the earth with rivers .
*
The mountains saw thee ,
and were afraid .
The tempest of waters passed by .
The deep uttered its voice ,
and lifted up its hands on high .
*
The sun and moon stood still in their habitation ,
at the light of thine arrows as they went ,
at the shining of thy glittering spear .
*
Thou marched though the land in indignation .
Thou threshed the nations in anger .
*
Thou went forth for the salvation of thy people ,
for the salvation of thine anointed .
Thou wound the head out of the house of the wicked man ,
laying bare the foundation even to the neck .
Selah .
*
Thou pierced with his own staves the head of his warriors .
They came as a whirlwind to scatter me .
Their rejoicing was as to devour the poor man secretly .
*
Thou walked through the sea with thy horses ,
the heap of mighty waters .
*
I heard ,
and my body trembled .
My lips quivered at the voice .
Rottenness enters into my bones ,
and I tremble in my place ,
because I must wait quietly for the day of trouble ,
for the coming up of the people who invade us .
*
For though the fig tree shall not flourish ,
nor shall fruit be in the vines ,
the labor of the olive shall fail ,
and the fields shall yield no food .
The flock shall be cut off from the fold ,
and there shall be no herd in the stalls .
*
Yet I will rejoice in LORD .
I will joy in the God of my salvation .
*
LORD ,
the Lord ,
is my strength .
And he makes my feet like hinds ' [
feet ],
and will make me to walk upon my high places .
