1
The prayer of Habakkuk the prophet: on shigionoth.
2
Yahweh, I have heard your report, and I am afraid. Yahweh, revive your work in the midst of these times; in the midst of these times make it known; remember to have compassion in your wrath.
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
The two rays of his hand were as bright as lightning, where his strength was hidden.
5
Deadly disease went before him, and plague went after his feet.
6
He stood and measured the earth; he looked and shook the nations. Even the eternal mountains were shattered, and the everlasting hills bowed down. His path is everlasting.
7
I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction, and the fabric of the tents in the land of Midian trembling.
8
Was Yahweh angry at the rivers? Was your wrath against the rivers, or your fury against the sea, when you rode upon your horses and your victorious chariots?
9
You have brought out your bow without a cover; you put arrows to your bow! Selah. You divided the earth with rivers.
10
The mountains saw you and twisted in pain. Downpours of water passed over them; the deep sea raised a shout. It lifted up its waves.
11
The sun and moon stood still above in their high places at the light of your arrows and they flew, at the brightness of the lightning flash of your spear.
12
You have marched over the earth with indignation. In wrath you have threshed the nations.
13
You went out for the salvation of your people, for the salvation of your anointed one. You shatter the head of the house of the wicked to expose the base of the neck. Selah.
14
You have pierced the head of his warriors with his own arrows since they came like a storm to scatter us, their gloating was like one who devours the poor in a hiding place.
15
You have traveled over the sea with your horses, and heaped up the great waters.
16
I heard, and my inner parts trembled! My lips quivered at the sound. Decay comes into my bones, and under myself I tremble as I wait quietly for the day of distress to come upon the people who invade us.

Habakkuk Rejoices

17
Though the fig tree does not bud and there is no produce from the vines; and though the produce of the olive tree disappoints and the fields yield no food; and though the flock is cut off from the fold and there is no cattle in the stalls, this is what I will do.
18
Still, I will rejoice in Yahweh. I will be joyful because of the God of my salvation.
19
Lord Yahweh is my strength and he makes my feet like the deer’s. He makes me go forward on my high places. -To the music director, on my stringed instruments.
1
A prayer of Habakkuk, the prophet, set to victorious music.
2
LORD, I have heard of your fame. I stand in awe of your deeds, LORD. Renew your work in the middle of the years. In the middle of the years make it known. In wrath, you remember mercy.
3
God came from Teman, the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and his praise filled the earth.
4
His splendor is like the sunrise. Rays shine from his hand, where his power is hidden.
5
Plague went before him, and pestilence followed his feet.
6
He stood, and shook the earth. He looked, and made the nations tremble. The ancient mountains were crumbled. The age-old hills collapsed. His ways are eternal.
7
I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction. The dwellings of the land of Midian trembled.
8
Was the LORD displeased with the rivers? Was your anger against the rivers, or your wrath against the sea, that you rode on your horses, on your chariots of salvation?
9
You uncovered your bow. You called for your sworn arrows. Selah. You split the earth with rivers.
10
The mountains saw you, and were afraid. The storm of waters passed by. The deep roared and lifted up its hands on high.
11
The sun and moon stood still in the sky at the light of your arrows as they went, at the shining of your glittering spear.
12
You marched through the land in wrath. You threshed the nations in anger.
13
You went out for the salvation of your people, for the salvation of your anointed. You crushed the head of the land of wickedness. You stripped them head to foot. Selah.
14
You pierced the heads of his warriors with their own spears. They came as a whirlwind to scatter me, gloating as if to devour the wretched in secret.
15
You trampled the sea with your horses, churning mighty waters.
16
I heard, and my body trembled. My lips quivered at the voice. Rottenness enters 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 who invade us.

Habakkuk Rejoices

17
For even though the fig tree doesn’t flourish, nor fruit be in the vines, the labor of the olive fails, the fields yield no food, the flocks are cut off from the fold, and there is no herd in the stalls,
18
yet I will rejoice in the LORD. I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!
19
GOD, the Lord,(a) is my strength. He makes my feet like deer’s feet, and enables me to go in high places. For the music director, on my stringed instruments.
