Habakkuk 3 – Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Yet I Will Exalt in Yahweh

1 A prayer ^H8605 of Habakkuk ^H2265 the prophet ^H5030, according ^H5921 to [fn]Shigionoth ^H7692.

2 O Yahweh ^H3068, I have heard ^H8085 [fn]the report ^H8088 about You, and [fn]I fear ^H3372.

O Yahweh ^H3068, revive ^H2421 Your work ^H6467 in the midst ^H7130 of the years ^H8141;

In the midst ^H7130 of the years ^H8141 make ^H3045 it known ^H3045;

In rage ^H7267 remember ^H2142 compassion ^H7355.

3 God ^H433 comes ^H935 from Teman ^H8487,

And the Holy ^H6918 One ^H6918 from Mount ^H2022 Paran ^H6290. Selah ^H5542.

His splendor ^H1935 covers ^H3680 the heavens ^H8064,

And the earth ^H776 is full ^H4390 of His praise ^H8416.

4 His brightness ^H5051 is like the sunlight ^H216;

He has rays ^H7161 flashing from His hand ^H3027,

And there ^H8033 is the hiding ^H2253 of His strength ^H5797.

5 Before ^H6440 Him goes ^H1980 pestilence ^H1698,

And plague ^H7565 comes ^H3318 [fn]after ^H7272 Him.

6 He stood ^H5975 and [fn]measured ^H4058 out ^H4058 the earth ^H776;

He looked ^H7200 and startled ^H5425 the nations ^H1471.

So the perpetual ^H5703 mountains ^H2022 were shattered ^H6327;

The ancient ^H5769 hills ^H1389 [fn]collapsed ^H7817.

His ways ^H1979 are everlasting ^H5769.

7 I saw ^H7200 the tents ^H168 of Cushan ^H3572 under ^H8478 wickedness ^H205;

The tent ^H3407 curtains ^H3407 of the land ^H776 of Midian ^H4080 were trembling ^H7264.

8 Did Yahweh’s ^H3068 fury burn ^H2734 against the rivers ^H5104,

Or ^H518 was Your anger ^H639 against the rivers ^H5104,

Or ^H518 was Your wrath ^H5678 against the sea ^H3220,

That You rode ^H7392 on Your horses ^H5483,

On Your chariots ^H4818 of salvation ^H3444?

9 Your bow ^H7198 was made ^H6181 bare ^H6181;

Rods ^H4294 were sworn ^H7621 unto battle by word ^H561. Selah ^H5542.

You split ^H1234 the earth ^H776 with rivers ^H5104.

10 The mountains ^H2022 saw ^H7200 You and writhed ^H2342;

The downpour ^H2230 of waters ^H4325 passed ^H5674 by ^H5674.

The deep ^H8415 gave ^H5414 forth ^H5414 its voice ^H6963;

It lifted ^H5375 high ^H7315 its hands ^H3027.

11 Sun ^H8121 and moon ^H3394 stood ^H5975 in their lofty ^H2073 places ^H2073;

They went ^H1980 away at the light ^H216 of Your arrows ^H2671,

At the brightness ^H5051 of Your flashing ^H1300 spear ^H2595.

12 In indignation ^H2195 You marched ^H6805 through the earth ^H776;

In anger ^H639 You [fn]trampled ^H1758 the nations ^H1471.

13 You went ^H3318 forth ^H3318 for the salvation ^H3468 of Your people ^H5971,

For salvation ^H3468 with Your anointed ^H4899.

You crushed ^H4272 the head ^H7218 of the house ^H1004 of the wicked ^H7563

To lay ^H6168 him bare ^H6168 from [fn]thigh ^H3247 to neck ^H6677. Selah ^H5542.

14 You pierced ^H5344 with his own sharpened rods ^H4294

The head ^H7218 of his [fn]throngs ^H6518.

They stormed ^H5590 in ^H5590 to scatter ^H6327 [fn]us;

Their exultation ^H5951 was like ^H3644 those

Who devour ^H398 the afflicted ^H6041 in secret ^H4565.

15 You tread ^H1869 on the sea ^H3220 with Your horses ^H5483,

On the surge ^H2563 of many ^H7227 waters ^H4325.

16 I heard ^H8085, and my [fn]inward ^H990 parts ^H990 trembled ^H7264;

At the sound ^H6963 my lips ^H8193 tingled ^H6750.

Decay ^H7538 enters ^H935 my bones ^H6106,

And in ^H8478 my place ^H8478 I tremble ^H7264.

Because ^H834 I must wait ^H5117 quietly ^H5117 for the day ^H3117 of distress ^H6869,

[fn]For the people ^H5971 to arise ^H5927 who will invade ^H1464 us.

17 Though ^H3588 the fig ^H8384 tree ^H8384 should not blossom ^H6524

And there ^H369 be ^H369 no ^H369 produce ^H2981 on the vines ^H1612,

Though the yield ^H4639 of the olive ^H2132 should fail ^H3584

And the fields ^H7709 yield ^H6213 no ^H3808 food ^H400,

Though the flock ^H6629 should be cut ^H1504 off ^H1504 from the fold ^H4356

And there ^H369 be ^H369 no ^H369 cattle ^H1241 in the stalls ^H7517,

18 Yet I will exult ^H5937 in Yahweh ^H3068;

I will rejoice ^H1523 in the God ^H430 of my salvation ^H3468.

19 Yahweh ^H3068, the Lord ^H136, is my [fn]strength ^H2428,

And He has set ^H7760 my feet ^H7272 like hinds’ ^H355 feet

And makes me tread ^H1869 on my high ^H1116 places ^H1116.

[fn]For the choir ^H5329 director ^H5329, on my stringed ^H5058 instruments ^H5058.
