Habakkuk 3:1–9
1A prayer of Habakkuk, the prophet, set to victorious music.↗
2LORD, 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.↗
3God came from Teman, the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and his praise filled the earth.↗
4His splendor is like the sunrise. Rays shine from his hand, where his power is hidden.↗
5Plague went before him, and pestilence followed his feet.↗
6He 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.↗
7I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction. The dwellings of the land of Midian trembled.↗
8Was 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?↗
9You uncovered your bow. You called for your sworn arrows. Selah. You split the earth with rivers.↗
