Habakkuk 3

New American Standard Bible

³ God comes from ^(F)Teman,
And the Holy One from Mount ^(G)Paran. Selah
His ^(H)splendor covers the heavens,
And the ^(I)earth is full of His praise.
⁴ His ^(J)radiance is like the sunlight;
He has rays flashing from His hand,
And the hiding of His ^(K)might is there.
⁵ Before Him goes ^(L)plague,
And ^(M)plague comes forth ^[e]after Him.
⁶ He stood and caused the earth to shudder;
He looked and ^(N)caused the nations to jump.
Yes, the everlasting mountains were shattered,
The ancient hills ^[f]collapsed.
His paths are ^(O)everlasting.
⁷ I saw the tents of Cushan under ^(P)distress,
The tent curtains of the land of ^(Q)Midian were trembling.

⁸ Did the Lord rage against the ^(R)rivers,
Or was Your anger against the rivers,
Or was Your rage against the ^(S)sea,
That You ^(T)rode on Your horses,
On Your ^(U)chariots of salvation?
⁹ You removed Your ^(V)bow from its holder,
The arrows of Your word were ^[g]sworn. Selah
You ^(W)divided the earth with rivers.
¹⁰ The mountains saw You and quaked;
The downpour of waters swept by.
The deep ^(X)raised its voice,
It lifted high its hands.
^11 (Y)Sun and moon stood in their lofty places;
They went away at the ^(Z)light of Your arrows,
At the radiance of Your flashing spear.
¹² In indignation You ^(AA)marched through the earth;
In anger You ^[h](AB)trampled the nations.
¹³ You went forth for the ^(AC)salvation of Your people,
For the salvation of Your ^(AD)anointed.
You smashed the ^(AE)head of the house of evil
To uncover him from ^[i]foot to neck. Selah
¹⁴ You pierced with his ^(AF)own ^[j]arrows
The head of his ^[k]leaders.
They ^(AG)stormed in to scatter ^[l]us;
Their arrogance was like those
Who ^(AH)devour the oppressed in secret.
¹⁵ You ^(AI)trampled on the sea with Your horses,
On the ^(AJ)foam of many waters.

¹⁶ I heard, and my ^[m]inner parts ^(AK)trembled;
At the sound, my lips quivered.
Decay enters my ^(AL)bones,
And in my place I tremble;
Because I ^[n]must ^(AM)wait quietly for the day of distress,
^[o]For the ^(AN)people to arise who will attack us.
¹⁷ Even if the ^(AO)fig tree does not blossom,
And there is no ^[p]fruit on the vines,
If the yield of the ^(AP)olive fails,
And the fields produce no food,
Even if the ^(AQ)flock disappears from the fold,
And there are ^(AR)no cattle in the stalls,
¹⁸ Yet I will ^(AS)triumph in the Lord,
I will ^(AT)rejoice in the ^(AU)God of my salvation.
¹⁹ The Lord ^[q]God is my ^(AV)strength,
And ^(AW)He has made my feet like deer’s feet,
And has me walk on my ^(AX)high places.
