Habakkuk 3:2–13

²O LORD, I have heard the report of You;

I stand in awe, O LORD, of Your deeds.

Revive them in these years;

make them known in these years.

In Your wrath, remember mercy!

³God came from Teman,

and the Holy One from Mount Paran.

Selah^b

His glory covered the heavens,

and His praise filled the earth.

⁴His radiance was like the sunlight;

rays flashed from His hand,

where His power is hidden.

⁵Plague went before Him,

and fever followed in His steps.

⁶He stood and measured the earth;

He looked and startled the nations;

the ancient mountains crumbled;

the perpetual hills collapsed.

His ways are everlasting.

⁷I saw the tents of Cushan in distress;

the curtains of Midian were trembling.

⁸Were You angry at the rivers, O LORD?

Was Your wrath against the streams?

Did You rage against the sea

when You rode on Your horses,

on Your chariots of salvation?

⁹You brandished Your bow;

You called for many arrows.

Selah

You split the earth with rivers.

¹⁰The mountains saw You and quaked;

torrents of water swept by.

The deep roared with its voice

and lifted its hands on high.

¹¹Sun and moon stood still

in their places

at the flash of Your flying arrows,

at the brightness of Your shining spear.

¹²You marched across the earth with fury;

You threshed the nations in wrath.

¹³You went forth for the salvation of Your people,

to save Your anointed.

You crushed the head of the house of the wicked

and stripped him from head to toe.

Selah
