- 1. A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, set to Shigionoth.
- 2. O Jehovah, I have heard the report of thee, and am afraid: O Jehovah, revive thy work in the midst of the years; In the midst of the years make it known; In wrath remember mercy.
- 3. God came from Teman, And the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, And the earth was full of his praise.
- 4. And [his] brightness was as the light; He had rays [coming forth] from his hand; And there was the hiding of his power.
- 5. Before him went the pestilence, And fiery bolts went forth at his feet.
- 6. He stood, and measured the earth; He beheld, and drove asunder the nations; And the eternal mountains were scattered; The everlasting hills did bow; His goings were [as] of old.
- 7. I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction; The curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.
- 8. Was Jehovah displeased with the rivers? Was thine anger against the rivers, Or thy wrath against the sea, That thou didst ride upon thy horses, Upon thy chariots of salvation?
- 9. Thy bow was made quite bare; The oaths to the tribes were a [sure] word. Selah. Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers.
- 10. The mountains saw thee, and were afraid; The tempest of waters passed by; The deep uttered its voice, And lifted up its hands on high.
- 11. The sun and moon stood still in their habitation, At the light of thine arrows as they went, At the shining of thy glittering spear.
- 12. Thou didst march though the land in indignation; Thou didst thresh the nations in anger.
- 13. Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, For the salvation of thine anointed; Thou woundest the head out of the house of the wicked man, Laying bare the foundation even unto the neck. Selah.
- 14. Thou didst pierce with his own staves the head of his warriors: They came as a whirlwind to scatter me; Their rejoicing was as to devour the poor secretly.
- 15. Thou didst tread the sea with thy horses, The heap of mighty waters.
- 16. I heard, and my body trembled, My lips quivered at the voice; Rottenness entereth into my bones, and I tremble in my place; Because I must wait quietly for the day of trouble, For the coming up of the people that invadeth us.
- 17. For though the fig-tree shall not flourish, Neither shall fruit be in the vines; The labor of the olive shall fail, And the fields shall yield no food; The flock shall be cut off from the fold, And there shall be no herd in the stalls:
- 18. Yet I will rejoice in Jehovah, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
- 19. Jehovah, the Lord, is my strength; And he maketh my feet like hinds’ [feet], And will make me to walk upon my high places.
