Habakkuk 3

1 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet on shiggionoth.

A PRAYER OF THE PROPHET AMBACUM, WITH A SONG.

2 O Yahweh I have heard report your I fear O Yahweh work your in [the] midst of years restore it in [the] midst of years you will make [it] known in wrath to have compassion you will remember.

O Lord, I have heard thy report, and was afraid: I considered thy works, and was amazed: thou shalt be known between the two living creatures, thou shalt be acknowledged when the years draw nigh; thou shalt be manifested when the time is come; when my soul is troubled, thou wilt in wrath remember mercy.

3 God from Teman he comes and [the] holy [one] from [the] mountain of Paran (Selah) it has covered [the] heavens splendor his and praise his it has filled the earth.

God shall come from Thaeman, and the Holy One from the dark shady mount Pharan. (Pause)

4 And brightness like the light it is two horns from hand his [belong] to him and [is] there [the] hiding place of (strength his. *Q(K)*)

His excellence covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise. And his brightness shall be as light; [there were] horns in his hands, and he caused a mighty love of his strength.

5 Before him it goes pestilence so it may go out lightning to feet his.

Before his face shall go a report, and it shall go forth into the plains,

6 He stood - and he shook [the] earth he has seen and he has made jump nations and they have been shattered mountains of antiquity they have bowed down hills of antiquity ways of antiquity [belong] to him.

the earth stood at his feet and trembled: he beheld, and the nations melted away: the mountains were violently burst through, the everlasting hills melted at his everlasting going forth.

7 Under trouble I have seen [the] tents of Cushan they tremble! [the] tent curtains of [the] land of Midian.

Because of troubles I looked upon the tents of the Ethiopians: the tabernacles also of the land of Madiam shall be dismayed.

8 ¿ On rivers has it burned O Yahweh or? on the rivers [is] anger your or? on the sea [is] fury your that you will ride on horses your chariots your salvation.

Wast thou angry, O Lord, with the rivers? or [was] thy wrath against the rivers, or thine anger against the sea? for thou wilt mount on thine horses, and thy chariots are salvation.

9 Bareness it is made bare bow your oaths of arrows a word (Selah) rivers you split open [the] earth.

Surely thou didst bend they bow at scepters, saith the Lord. (Pause) The land of rivers shall be torn asunder.

10 They have seen you they writhe mountains a downpour of water it has passed over it has given forth [the] deep voice its height hands its it has lifted.

The nations shall see thee and be in pain, [as thou dost] divide the moving waters: the deep uttered her voice, and raised her form on high.

11 Sun moon it has stood still a lofty abode to light arrows your they go to brightness [the] lightning flash of spear your.

The sun was exalted, and the moon stood still in her course: thy darts shall go forth at the light, at the brightness of the gleaming of thine arms.

12 In indignation you march [the] earth in anger you trample down nations.

Thou wilt bring low the land with threatening, and in wrath thou wilt break down the nations.

13 You have gone out for [the] salvation of people your for [the] salvation anointed your you have shattered [the] chief from [the] house of [the] wicked you have laid bare foundation[s] to neck (Selah)

Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, to save thine anointed: thou shalt bring death on the heads of transgressors; thou has brought bands upon [their] neck. (Pause)

14 You pierced with own arrows his [the] head of (warriors his *Q(K)*) they storm to scatter me exultation their [was] like to devour [the] afflicted in the secret place.

Thou didst cut asunder the heads of princes with amazement, they shall tremble in it; they shall burst their bridles, [they shall be] as a poor man devouring in secret.

15 You trod on the sea horses your a heap of waters many.

And thou dost cause thine horses to enter the sea, disturbing much water.

16 I heard - and it trembled belly my to [the] sound they quivered lips my it came rottenness in bones my and under me I trembled that I will be quiet for [the] day of trouble to come up to [the] people [which] attacks us it.

I watched, and my belly trembled at the sound of the prayer of my lips, and trembling entered into my bones, and my frame was troubled within me; I will rest in the day of affliction, from going up to the people of my sojourning.

17 For [the] fig tree not it buds and there not [is] produce on the vines it fails [the] product of [the] olive tree and fields not it produces food someone cuts off from [the] fold [the] flock and not cattle [is] in the stalls.

For [though] the fig-tree shall bear no fruit, and there shall be no produce on the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall produce no food: the sheep have failed from the pasture, and there are no oxen at the cribs;

18 And I in Yahweh I will exult I will rejoice in [the] God of salvation my.

yet I will exult in the Lord, I will joy in God my Saviour.

19 (Yahweh *L(abh)*) [the] Lord [is] strength my and he makes feet my like does and on high places my he makes tread me to the choirmaster with stringed instruments my.

The Lord God is my strength, and he will perfectly strengthen my feet; he mounts me upon high places, that I may conquer by his song.
