A prayer[H8605] of Habakkuk[H2265] the prophet[H5030] upon Shigionoth[H7692].
2
O LORD[H3068], I have heard[H8085] thy speech[H8088], and was afraid[H3372]: O LORD[H3068], revive[H2421] thy work[H6467] in the midst[H7130] of the years[H8141], in the midst[H7130] of the years[H8141] make known[H3045]; in wrath[H7267]remember[H2142]mercy[H7355].
3God[H433]came[H935] from Teman[H8487], and the Holy One[H6918] from mount[H2022]Paran[H6290]. Selah[H5542]. His glory[H1935]covered[H3680] the heavens[H8064], and the earth[H776] was full[H4390] of his praise[H8416].
4
And his brightness[H5051] was as the light[H216]; he had horns[H7161] coming out of his hand[H3027]: and there was the hiding[H2253] of his power[H5797].
5Before[H6440] him went[H3212] the pestilence[H1698], and burning coals[H7565]went[H3212]forth[H3318] at his feet[H7272].
6
He stood[H5975], and measured[H4128] the earth[H776]: he beheld[H7200], and drove asunder[H5425] the nations[H1471]; and the everlasting[H5703]mountains[H2042] were scattered[H6327], the perpetual[H5769]hills[H1389] did bow[H7817]: his ways[H1979] are everlasting[H5769].
7
I saw[H7200] the tents[H168] of Cushan[H3572] in affliction[H205]: and the curtains[H3407] of the land[H776] of Midian[H4080] did tremble[H7264].
8
Was the LORD[H3068]displeased[H2734] against the rivers?[H5104] was thine anger[H639] against the rivers?[H5104] was thy wrath[H5678] against the sea[H3220], that thou didst ride[H7392] upon thine horses[H5483] and thy chariots[H4818] of salvation?[H3444]
9
Thy bow[H7198] was made quite[H6181]naked[H5783], according to the oaths[H7621] of the tribes[H4294], even thy word[H562]. Selah[H5542]. Thou didst cleave[H1234] the earth[H776] with rivers[H5104].
10
The mountains[H2022]saw[H7200] thee, and they trembled[H2342]: the overflowing[H2230] of the water[H4325] passed by[H5674]: the deep[H8415]uttered[H5414] his voice[H6963], and lifted up[H5375] his hands[H3027] on high[H7315].
11
The sun[H8121] and moon[H3394] stood still[H5975] in their habitation[H2073]: at the light[H216] of thine arrows[H2671] they went[H1980], and at the shining[H5051] of thy glittering[H1300]spear[H2595].
12
Thou didst march through[H6805] the land[H776] in indignation[H2195], thou didst thresh[H1758] the heathen[H1471] in anger[H639].
13
Thou wentest forth[H3318] for the salvation[H3468] of thy people[H5971], even for salvation[H3468] with thine anointed[H4899]; thou woundedst[H4272] the head[H7218] out of the house[H1004] of the wicked[H7563], by discovering[H6168] the foundation[H3247] unto the neck[H6677]. Selah[H5542].
14
Thou didst strike through[H5344] with his staves[H4294] the head[H7218] of his villages[H6518]: they came out as a whirlwind[H5590] to scatter[H6327] me: their rejoicing[H5951] was as to devour[H398] the poor[H6041]secretly[H4565].
15
Thou didst walk[H1869] through the sea[H3220] with thine horses[H5483], through the heap[H2563] of great[H7227]waters[H4325].
16
When I heard[H8085], my belly[H990]trembled[H7264]; my lips[H8193]quivered[H6750] at the voice[H6963]: rottenness[H7538]entered[H935] into my bones[H6106], and I trembled[H7264] in myself, that I might rest[H5117] in the day[H3117] of trouble[H6869]: when he cometh up[H5927] unto the people[H5971], he will invade them with his troops[H1464].
17
Although the fig tree[H8384] shall not blossom[H6524], neither shall fruit[H2981] be in the vines[H1612]; the labour[H4639] of the olive[H2132] shall fail[H3584], and the fields[H7709] shall yield[H6213] no meat[H400]; the flock[H6629] shall be cut off[H1504] from the fold[H4356], and there shall be no herd[H1241] in the stalls[H7517]:
18
Yet I will rejoice[H5937] in the LORD[H3068], I will joy[H1523] in the God[H430] of my salvation[H3468].
19
The LORD[H3069]God[H136] is my strength[H2428], and he will make[H7760] my feet[H7272] like hinds[H355]' feet[H7272], and he will make[H7760] me to walk[H1869] upon mine high places[H1116]. To the chief singer[H5329] on my stringed instruments[H5058].
