Habakkuk:3
Seeker Overlay ON
*
A Prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth .
*
Jehovah ,
I heard the report of thee , [
and ]
I feared .
Jehovah ,
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 covereth the heavens ,
And the earth is full of his praise .
*
And [
his ]
brightness was as the light ;
Rays [
came forth ]
from his hand ;
And there was the hiding of his power .
*
Before him went the pestilence ,
And a burning flame went forth at his feet .
*
He stood ,
and measured the earth ;
He beheld ,
and discomfited the nations ;
And the eternal mountains were scattered ,
The everlasting hills gave way :
His ways are everlasting .
*
I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction ;
The curtains of the land of Midian did tremble .
*
Was Jehovah wrathful with the rivers ?
Was thine anger against the rivers ?
Was thy rage against the sea ,
That thou didst ride upon thy horses ,
Thy chariots of salvation ?
*
Thy bow was made naked ,
The rods [
of discipline ]
sworn according to [
thy ]
word .
Selah .
Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers .
*
The mountains saw thee ,
they were in travail :
Torrents of waters passed by ;
The deep uttered its voice ,
Lifted up its hands on high .
*
The sun [
and ]
moon stood still in their habitation ,
At the light of thine arrows which shot forth , --
At the shining of thy glittering spear .
*
Thou didst march through the land in indignation ,
Thou didst thresh the nations in anger .
*
Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people ,
For the salvation of thine anointed ;
Thou didst smite off the head from the house of the wicked ,
Laying bare the foundation even to the neck .
Selah .
*
Thou didst strike through with his own spears the head of his leaders :
They came out as a whirlwind to scatter me ,
Whose exulting was as to devour the afflicted secretly .
*
Thou didst walk through the sea with thy horses ,
The heap of great waters .
*
I heard ,
and my belly trembled ;
My lips quivered at the voice ;
Rottenness entered into my bones ,
and I trembled in my place ,
That I might rest in the day of distress ,
When their invader shall come up against the people .
*
For though the fig-tree shall not blossom ,
Neither shall fruit be in the vines ;
The labour of the olive-tree 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 Jehovah ,
I will joy in the God of my salvation .
*
Jehovah ,
the Lord ,
is my strength ,
And he maketh my feet like hinds ' [
feet ],
And he will make me to walk upon my high places .
To the chief Musician .
On my stringed instruments .
