1 A prayer{H8605} of Habakkuk{H2265} the prophet{H5030} upon Shigionoth{H7692}.

2 O LORD{H3068}, I have heard{H8085}{(H8804)} thy speech{H8088}, and was afraid{H3372}{(H8804)}: O LORD{H3068}, revive{H2421}{(H8761)} thy work{H6467} in the midst{H7130} of the years{H8141}, in the midst{H7130} of the years{H8141} make known{H3045}{(H8686)}; in wrath{H7267} remember{H2142}{(H8799)} mercy{H7355}{(H8763)}.

3 God{H433} came{H935}{(H8799)} from Teman{H8487}, and the Holy One{H6918} from mount{H2022} Paran{H6290}. Selah{H5542}. His glory{H1935} covered{H3680}{(H8765)} the heavens{H8064}, and the earth{H776} was full{H4390}{(H8804)} of his praise{H8416}.

4 And his brightness{H5051} was as the light{H216}; he had horns{H7161} coming out of his hand{H3027}: and there was the hiding{H2253} of his power{H5797}.

5 Before{H6440} him went{H3212}{(H8799)} the pestilence{H1698}, and burning coals{H7565} went forth{H3318}{(H8799)} at his feet{H7272}.

6 He stood{H5975}{(H8804)}, and measured{H4128}{(H8787)} the earth{H776}: he beheld{H7200}{(H8804)}, and drove asunder{H5425}{(H8686)} the nations{H1471}; and the everlasting{H5703} mountains{H2042} were scattered{H6327}{(H8691)}, the perpetual{H5769} hills{H1389} did bow{H7817}{(H8804)}: his ways{H1979} are everlasting{H5769}.

7 I saw{H7200}{(H8804)} the tents{H168} of Cushan{H3572} in affliction{H205}: and the curtains{H3407} of the land{H776} of Midian{H4080} did tremble{H7264}{(H8799)}.

8 Was the LORD{H3068} displeased{H2734}{(H8804)} against the rivers{H5104}? was thine anger{H639} against the rivers{H5104}? was thy wrath{H5678} against the sea{H3220}, that thou didst ride{H7392}{(H8799)} upon thine horses{H5483} and thy chariots{H4818} of salvation{H3444}?

9 Thy bow{H7198} was made quite{H6181} naked{H5783}{(H8735)}, according to the oaths{H7621} of the tribes{H4294}, even thy word{H562}. Selah{H5542}. Thou didst cleave{H1234}{(H8762)} the earth{H776} with rivers{H5104}.

10 The mountains{H2022} saw{H7200}{(H8804)} thee, and they trembled{H2342}{(H8799)}: the overflowing{H2230} of the water{H4325} passed by{H5674}{(H8804)}: the deep{H8415} uttered{H5414}{(H8804)} his voice{H6963}, and lifted up{H5375}{(H8804)} his hands{H3027} on high{H7315}.

11 The sun{H8121} and moon{H3394} stood still{H5975}{(H8804)} in their habitation{H2073}: at the light{H216} of thine arrows{H2671} they went{H1980}{(H8762)}, and at the shining{H5051} of thy glittering{H1300} spear{H2595}.

12 Thou didst march through{H6805}{(H8799)} the land{H776} in indignation{H2195}, thou didst thresh{H1758}{(H8799)} the heathen{H1471} in anger{H639}.

13 Thou wentest forth{H3318}{(H8804)} for the salvation{H3468} of thy people{H5971}, even for salvation{H3468} with thine anointed{H4899}; thou woundedst{H4272}{(H8804)} the head{H7218} out of the house{H1004} of the wicked{H7563}, by discovering{H6168}{(H8763)} the foundation{H3247} unto the neck{H6677}. Selah{H5542}.

14 Thou didst strike through{H5344}{(H8804)} with his staves{H4294} the head{H7218} of his villages{H6518}: they came out as a whirlwind{H5590}{(H8799)} to scatter{H6327}{(H8687)} me: their rejoicing{H5951} was as to devour{H398}{(H8800)} the poor{H6041} secretly{H4565}.

15 Thou didst walk{H1869}{(H8804)} through the sea{H3220} with thine horses{H5483}, through the heap{H2563} of great{H7227} waters{H4325}.

16 When I heard{H8085}{(H8804)}, my belly{H990} trembled{H7264}{(H8799)}; my lips{H8193} quivered{H6750}{(H8804)} at the voice{H6963}: rottenness{H7538} entered{H935}{(H8799)} into my bones{H6106}, and I trembled{H7264}{(H8799)} in myself, that I might rest{H5117}{(H8799)} in the day{H3117} of trouble{H6869}: when he cometh up{H5927}{(H8800)} unto the people{H5971}, he will invade them with his troops{H1464}{(H8799)}.

17 Although the fig tree{H8384} shall not blossom{H6524}{(H8799)}, neither shall fruit{H2981} be in the vines{H1612}; the labour{H4639} of the olive{H2132} shall fail{H3584}{(H8765)}, and the fields{H7709} shall yield{H6213}{(H8804)} no meat{H400}; the flock{H6629} shall be cut off{H1504}{(H8804)} from the fold{H4356}, and there shall be no herd{H1241} in the stalls{H7517}:

18 Yet I will rejoice{H5937}{(H8799)} in the LORD{H3068}, I will joy{H1523}{(H8799)} in the God{H430} of my salvation{H3468}.

19 The LORD{H3069} God{H136} is my strength{H2428}, and he will make{H7760}{(H8799)} my feet{H7272} like hinds{H355}' feet, and he will make me to walk{H1869}{(H8686)} upon mine high places{H1116}. To the chief singer{H5329}{(H8764)} on my stringed instruments{H5058}.
