The Prayer of Habakkuk
The Prayer of Habakkuk
- 2 O Yahweh, I stand in awe of your works.
- In the midst of the years, revive it!
- In the midst of the years, make it known!
- In wrath, may you remember to show compassion.
- 3 the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah
- His splendor covers the heavens,
- and his praise fills the earth.
- 4 the light; flashing rays came from his hand for him;
- And there is the covering of his strength.
- 5 [fn] and Pestilence[fn] went out at his feet.
- 6 he looked and made the nations tremble.
- Then the mountains of old were shattered;
- the hills of old collapsed.
- The ways of old belong to him.
- 7 the tent curtains of the land of Midian trembled.
- 8 Was your wrath against the rivers,
- or your fury against the sea,
- when you mounted upon your horses,
- upon your victory chariot?
- 9 swearing oaths with the arrows of your word.
- You split the earth with rivers.
- 10 When the mountains saw you they writhed; a torrent of waters swept by;
- the deep gave its voice;
- it raised its hands on high.
- 11 and moon stood still in their place; at the light of your arrows they moved about;
- at the gleam of the flashing of your spear.
- 12 the earth; in anger you trampled the nations.
- 13 for the salvation of your anointed.
- You crushed the head of the house of wickedness,
- laying bare from the foundation to the top.[fn]
- 14 they came like a whirlwind to scatter me,
- their exultation like one who devours the afflicted in ambush.
- 15 with your horses, the churning of many waters.
- 16 my lips quiver at the sound;
- infection enters my bones;
- that which is beneath me trembles;
- I wait quietly for the day of trouble
- to come upon the people attacking us.
- 17 does not blossom, nor there be fruit on the vines;
- the yield of the olive tree fails,
- and the cultivated fields do not yield food;
- the flock is cut off from the animal pen,
- and there is no cattle in the stalls,
- 18 I will exult in the God of my salvation.
- 19 is my strength; he makes my feet like the deer;
- he causes me to walk on my high places.
- To the choirmaster with stringed instruments.
