1A prayer of the prophet Habakkuk according to Shigionoth.
2O Lord , I have heard of your renown,[#Job 42.5, 6; Ps 85.6; 119.120; Isa 54.8; Jer 10.7]
and I stand in awe, O Lord , of your work.
In our own time revive it;
in our own time make it known;
in wrath may you remember mercy.
3God came from Teman,[#Deut 33.2; Ps 48.10; 113.4; Am 1.12]
the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah
His glory covered the heavens,
and the earth was full of his praise.
4The brightness was like the sun;[#Job 26.14; Ps 18.12]
rays came forth from his hand,
where his power lay hidden.
5Before him went pestilence,[#Ex 12.29, 30; Num 16.46–49]
and plague followed close behind.
6He stopped and shook the earth;[#Ps 35.5; Mic 5.8]
he looked and made the nations tremble.
The eternal mountains were shattered;
along his ancient pathways
the everlasting hills sank low.
7I saw the tents of Cushan under affliction;
the tent curtains of the land of Midian trembled.
8Was your wrath against the rivers, O Lord ,[#Ex 7.19, 20; Deut 33.26; Ps 68.17; #3.8 Or against River]
or your anger against the rivers
or your rage against the sea,
when you drove your horses,
your chariots to victory?
9You brandished your naked bow;[#Gen 26.3; Deut 7.8; Ps 78.16]
sated were the arrows at your command. Selah
You split the earth with rivers.
10The mountains saw you and writhed;[#Ex 14.22; Ps 114.3–8]
a torrent of water swept by;
the deep gave forth its voice.
The sun raised high its hands;
11the moon stood still in its exalted place,[#Josh 10.12–14; Ps 18.12–14]
at the light of your arrows speeding by,
at the gleam of your flashing spear.
12In fury you marched on the earth;[#Ps 68.7; Isa 41.15; Jer 51.33]
in anger you trampled nations.
13You came forth to save your people,[#Ex 15.2; Ps 68.19, 20; 110.6; Ezek 13.14]
to save your anointed.
You crushed the head of the wicked house,
laying it bare from foundation to roof. Selah
14You pierced with their own arrows the head of his warriors,[#3.14 Heb his; #3.14 Gk Vg Syr: Meaning of Heb uncertain]
who came like a whirlwind to scatter us,
gloating as if ready to devour the poor who were in hiding.
15You trampled the sea with your horses,[#Ex 15.8; Ps 77.19]
churning the mighty waters.
16I hear, and I tremble within;[#Jer 5.15; 23.9]
my lips quiver at the sound.
Rottenness enters into my bones,
and my steps tremble beneath me.
I wait quietly for the day of calamity
to come upon the people who attack us.
17Though the fig tree does not blossom[#Jer 5.17; Joel 1.18]
and no fruit is on the vines;
though the produce of the olive fails
and the fields yield no food;
though the flock is cut off from the fold
and there is no herd in the stalls,
18yet I will rejoice in the Lord ;[#Ps 46.1–5; Isa 12.2; 61.10]
I will exult in the God of my salvation.
19God , the Lord, is my strength;[#Deut 33.29; 2 Sam 22.34; Ps 18.33]
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer
and makes me tread upon the heights.
To the leader: with stringed instruments.
