Habakkuk 3:17-19
The Message
Habakkuk 3:17-19
The Message
17-19 Though the cherry trees don’t blossom
and the strawberries don’t ripen,
Though the apples are worm-eaten
and the wheat fields stunted,
Though the sheep pens are sheepless
and the cattle barns empty,
I’m singing joyful praise to God.
I’m turning cartwheels of joy to my Savior God.
Counting on God’s Rule to prevail,
I take heart and gain strength.
I run like a deer.
I feel like I’m king of the mountain!
(For congregational use, with a full orchestra.)

Habakkuk 3:17-19
New International Version
17 Though 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,(A)
though there are no sheep in the pen
and no cattle in the stalls,(B)
18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord,(C)
I will be joyful in God my Savior.(D)
19 The Sovereign Lord is my strength;(E)
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
he enables me to tread on the heights.(F)
For the director of music. On my stringed instruments.
