Habakkuk

Habakkuk 3:17–19

¹⁷Though the fig tree does not bud

and no fruit is on the vines,

though the olive crop fails

and the fields produce no food,

though the sheep are cut off from the fold

and no cattle are in the stalls,

¹⁸yet I will exult in the LORD;

I will rejoice in the God of my salvation!

¹⁹GOD the Lord is my strength;

He makes my feet like those of a deer;

He makes me walk upon the heights!

For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments.
