1A prayer by the prophet Habakkuk, set to music.

1A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet. On shigionoth.

2LORD, as I listen to what has been said about you, I am afraid. LORD, revive your work throughout all of our lives— reveal yourself throughout all of our lives— when you are angry, remember compassion.

2LORD, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, LORD. Repeat them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy.

3God comes from Teman — the Holy One from Mount Paran. Interlude His glory spreads throughout the heavens, and praises about him fill the earth.

3God came from Teman, the Holy One from Mount Paran. His glory covered the heavens and his praise filled the earth.

4His radiance is like sunlight; beams of light shine from his hand, where his strength lays hidden.

4His splendor was like the sunrise; rays flashed from his hand, where his power was hidden.

5Before him pestilence walks, and disease follows behind him.

5Plague went before him; pestilence followed his steps.

6He stood up and shook the land; with his stare he startled the nations. The age-old mountains were shattered, and the ancient hilltops bowed down. His ways are eternal.

6He stood, and shook the earth; he looked, and made the nations tremble. The ancient mountains crumbled and the age-old hills collapsed-- but he marches on forever.

7I saw the tents of Cushan in distress, and the tent curtains of the land of Midian in anguish.

7I saw the tents of Cushan in distress, the dwellings of Midian in anguish.

8Was the LORD displeased with the rivers? Was your anger directed against the watercourses or your wrath against the sea? Indeed, you rode upon your horses, upon your chariots of deliverance.

8Were you angry with the rivers, LORD? Was your wrath against the streams? Did you rage against the sea when you rode your horses and your chariots to victory?

9Your bow was exposed, and your arrows targeted by command. Interlude You split the earth with rivers.

9You uncovered your bow, you called for many arrows. You split the earth with rivers;

10When the mountains looked upon you, they trembled; the overflowing water passed by, the ocean shouted, and its waves surged upward.

10the mountains saw you and writhed. Torrents of water swept by; the deep roared and lifted its waves on high.

11The sun and moon stand still in their orbits; at the glint of your arrows they speed along, even at the gleam of your flashing spear.

11Sun and moon stood still in the heavens at the glint of your flying arrows, at the lightning of your flashing spear.

12You march through the land in righteous indignation; you tread down the nations in anger.

12In wrath you strode through the earth and in anger you threshed the nations.

13You marched out to deliver your people, to deliver with your anointed. You struck the head of the house of the wicked; you stripped him naked from head to foot. Interlude

13You came out to deliver your people, to save your anointed one. You crushed the leader of the land of wickedness, you stripped him from head to foot.

14With his own lances you pierced the heads of his warriors, who came out like a windstorm to scatter us — their joy is to devour the afflicted who are in hiding.

14With his own spear you pierced his head when his warriors stormed out to scatter us, gloating as though about to devour the wretched who were in hiding.

15You rode on the sea with your horses, even riding the crested waves of mighty waters.

15You trampled the sea with your horses, churning the great waters.

16I heard and I trembled within. My lips quivered at the noise. My legs gave way beneath me, and I trembled. Nevertheless, I await the day of distress that will dawn on our invaders.

16I heard and my heart pounded, my lips quivered at the sound; decay crept into my bones, and my legs trembled. Yet I will wait patiently for the day of calamity to come on the nation invading us.

17Even though the fig tree does not blossom, and there are no grapes on the vines; even if the olive harvest fails, and the fields produce nothing edible; even if the flock is snatched from the sheepfold, and there is no herd in the stalls—

17Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls,

18as for me, I will rejoice in the LORD. I will find my joy in the God who delivers me.

18yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior.

19The LORD God is my strength— he will make my feet like those of a deer, equipping me to tread on my mountain heights.

19The Sovereign LORD is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to tread on the heights. For the director of music. On my stringed instruments.
