Habakkuk 3

¹A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, set to Shigionoth.

²O Jehovah, I have heard the report of thee, and am afraid:

³God came from Teman,

⁴And his brightness was as the light;

⁵Before him went the pestilence,

⁶He stood, and measured the earth;

⁷I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction;

⁸Was Jehovah displeased with the rivers?

⁹Thy bow was made quite bare;

¹⁰The mountains saw thee, and were afraid;

¹¹The sun and moon stood still in their habitation,

¹²Thou didst march through the land in indignation;

¹³Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people,

¹⁴Thou didst pierce with his own staves the head of his warriors:

¹⁵Thou didst tread the sea with thy horses,

¹⁶I heard, and my body trembled,

¹⁷For though the fig-tree shall not flourish,

¹⁸Yet I will rejoice in Jehovah,

¹⁹Jehovah, the Lord, is my strength;
