Habakkuk 3
1 This is a prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, according to Shigionoth:
ORATIO HABACUC PROPHETAe PRO IGNORANTIIS.
2 O 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!
Domine audivi auditionem tuam, et timui. Domine opus tuum in medio annorum vivifica illud: In medio annorum notum facies: cum iratus fueris, misericordiae recordaberis.
3 God came from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. (Selah) His glory covered the heavens, and His praise filled the earth.
Deus ab Austro veniet, et sanctus de monte Pharan: Operuit caelos gloria eius: et laudis eius plena est terra.
4 His radiance was like the sunlight; rays flashed from His hand, where His power is hidden.
Splendor eius ut lux erit: cornua in manibus eius: Ibi abscondita est fortitudo eius:
5 Plague went before Him, and fever followed in His steps.
ante faciem eius ibit mors. Egredietur diabolus ante pedes eius.
6 He stood and measured the earth; He looked and startled the nations; the ancient mountains crumbled; the perpetual hills collapsed. His ways are everlasting.
Stetit, et mensus est terram. Aspexit, et dissolvit Gentes: et contriti sunt montes saeculi. Incurvati sunt colles mundi, ab itineribus aeternitatis eius.
7 I saw the tents of Cushan in distress; the curtains of Midian were trembling.
Pro iniquitate vidi tentoria Aethiopiae, turbabuntur pelles terrae Madian.
8 Were 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?
Numquid in fluminibus iratus es Domine? aut in fluminibus furor tuus? vel in mari indignatio tua? Qui ascendis super equos tuos: et quadrigae tuae salvatio.
9 You brandished Your bow; You called for many arrows. (Selah) You split the earth with rivers.
Suscitans suscitabis arcum tuum: iuramenta tribubus quae locutus es: Fluvios scindes terrae:
10 The mountains saw You and quaked; torrents of water swept by. The deep roared with its voice and lifted its hands on high.
viderunt te, et doluerunt montes: gurges aquarum transiit. Dedit abyssus vocem suam: altitudo manus suas levavit.
11 Sun and moon stood still in their places at the flash of Your flying arrows, at the brightness of Your shining spear.
Sol, et luna steterunt in habitaculo suo, in luce sagittarum tuarum, ibunt in splendore fulgurantis hastae tuae.
12 You marched across the earth with fury; You threshed the nations in wrath.
In fremitu conculcabis terram: et in furore obstupefacies Gentes.
13 You 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.
Egressus es in salutem populi tui: in salutem cum Christo tuo: Percussisti caput de domo impii: denudasti fundamentum eius usque ad collum.
14 With his own spear You pierced his head, when his warriors stormed out to scatter us, gloating as though ready to secretly devour the weak.
Maledixisti sceptris eius, capiti bellatorum eius, venientibus ut turbo ad dispergendum me. Exultatio eorum sicut eius, qui devorat pauperem in abscondito.
15 You trampled the sea with Your horses, churning the great waters.
Viam fecisti in mari equis tuis, in luto aquarum multarum.
16 I heard and trembled within; my lips quivered at the sound. Decay entered my bones; I trembled where I stood. Yet I must wait patiently for the day of distress to come upon the people who invade us.
Audivi, et conturbatus est venter meus: a voce contremuerunt labia mea. Ingrediatur putredo in ossibus meis, et subter me scateat. Ut requiescam in die tribulationis: ut ascendam ad populum accinctum nostrum.
17 Though 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,
Ficus enim non florebit: et non erit germen in vineis. Mentietur opus olivae: et arva non afferent cibum. Abscindetur de ovili pecus: et non erit armentum in praesepibus.
18 yet I will exult in the LORD; I will rejoice in the God of my salvation!
Ego autem in Domino gaudebo: et exultabo in Deo Iesu meo.
19 GOD the Lord is my strength; He makes my feet like those of a deer; He makes me walk upon the heights!
Deus Dominus fortitudo mea: et ponet pedes meos quasi cervorum. Et super excelsa mea deducet me victor in psalmis canentem.
