NASB Bible

Habbakkuk 3

God's Deliverance of His People

1

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

2

LORD, I have  aheard  1the report about You and  2I  bfear. O LORD,  crevive  dYour work in the midst of the years, In the midst of the years make it known; In wrath remember  3 emercy.

3

God comes from  aTeman, And the Holy One from Mount  bParan. Selah. His  csplendor covers the heavens, And the  dearth is full of His praise.

4

His  aradiance is like the sunlight; He has rays flashing from His hand, And there is the hiding of His  bpower.

5

Before Him goes  apestilence, And  bplague comes  1after Him.

6

He stood and surveyed the earth; He looked and  astartled the nations. Yes, the perpetual mountains were shattered, The ancient hills  1collapsed. His ways are  beverlasting.

7

I saw the tents of Cushan under  adistress, The tent curtains of the land of  bMidian were trembling.

8

Did the LORD rage against the  arivers, Or was Your anger against the rivers, Or was Your wrath against the  bsea, That You  crode on Your horses, On Your  dchariots of salvation?

9

Your  abow was made bare, The rods of  1chastisement were sworn. Selah. You  bcleaved the earth with rivers.

10

The mountains saw You and quaked; The downpour of waters swept by. The deep  auttered forth its voice, It lifted high its hands.

11

 aSun and moon stood in their places; They went away at the  blight of Your arrows, At the radiance of Your gleaming spear.

12

In indignation You  amarched through the earth; In anger You  1 btrampled the nations.

13

You went forth for the  asalvation of Your people, For the salvation of Your  banointed. You struck the  chead of the house of the evil To lay him open from  1thigh to neck. Selah.

14

You pierced with his  aown  1spears The head of his  2throngs. They  bstormed in to scatter  3us; Their exultation was like those Who  cdevour the oppressed in secret.

15

You  atrampled on the sea with Your horses, On the  bsurge of many waters.

16

I heard and my  1inward parts  atrembled, At the sound my lips quivered. Decay enters my  bbones, And in my place I tremble. Because I must  cwait quietly for the day of distress,  2For the  dpeople to arise who will invade us.

17

Though the  afig tree should not blossom And there be no  1fruit on the vines, Though the yield of the  bolive should fail And the fields produce no food, Though the  cflock should be cut off from the fold And there be  dno cattle in the stalls,

18

Yet I will  aexult in the LORD, I will  brejoice in the  cGod of my salvation.

19

The Lord  1GOD is my  astrength, And  bHe has made my feet like hinds' feet, And makes me walk on my  chigh places. For the choir director, on my stringed instruments.
