Habakkuk 3:1-11

1 This is a prayer of Havakuk the prophet about mistakes:
2 ADONAI, I have heard the report about you. ADONAI, I am awed by your deeds. Bring your work to life in our own age, make it known in our own time; but in anger, remember compassion.
3 God comes from Teman, the Holy One from Mount Pa'ran. His splendor covers the sky, and his praise fills the earth.
4 His brightness is like the sun, rays come forth from his hand - that is where his power is concealed.
5 Before him goes pestilence, and close behind, the plague.
6 When he stands up, the earth shakes; when he looks, the nations tremble, (Selah) the eternal mountains are smashed to pieces, the ancient hills sink down; the ancient paths are his.
7 I saw trouble in the tents of Kushan and the tent hangings shaking in the land of Midyan.
8 ADONAI, is it against the rivers, against the rivers that your anger is inflamed? Is your fury directed at the sea? Is that why you ride on your horses, and drive your chariots to victory?
9 You brandish your naked bow and order it filled with arrows. (Selah) You split the earth with rivers.
10 The mountains see you and tremble; a torrent of water streams by; the deep thunders forth, as it raises enormous waves.
11 The sun and moon stand still in the sky at the light of your arrows speeding by, at the gleam of your glittering spear.
