Habakkuk 3:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
8 Was the Lord angry against the [a]rivers? or was thine anger against the floods? or was thy wrath against the sea, that thou didst ride [b]upon thine horses? thy chariots brought salvation.
9 Thy [c]bow was manifestly revealed, and the [d]oaths of the tribes were a sure word, Selah, thou [e]didst cleave the earth with rivers.
10 The mountains saw thee, and they trembled: the stream of the water [f]passed by: the deep made a noise, and lifted up his hand on high.
