Habakkuk 3 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

God’s People Saved

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

2 LORD ^H3068, I have heard ^H8085 [fn]the report ^H8088 about You, and [fn]I was ^H3372 afraid ^H3372.

LORD ^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 anger ^H7267 remember ^H2142 [fn]mercy ^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 radiance ^H5051 is like the sunlight ^H216;

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

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

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

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

6 He stood ^H5975 and caused ^H4128 the earth ^H776 to ^H4128 shudder ^H4128;

He looked ^H7200 and caused ^H5425 the nations ^H1471 to ^H5425 jump ^H5425.

Yes, the everlasting ^H5703 mountains ^H2022 were shattered ^H6327,

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

His paths ^H1979 are everlasting ^H5769.

7 I saw ^H7200 the tents ^H168 of Cushan ^H3572 under ^H8478 distress ^H205,

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

8 Did the LORD ^H3068 rage ^H2734 against the rivers ^H5104,

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

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

That You rode ^H7392 on Your horses ^H5483,

On Your chariots ^H4818 of salvation ^H3444?

9 You removed ^H6168 Your bow ^H7198 from its holder,

The arrows ^H4294 of Your word ^H562 were [fn]sworn ^H7621. Selah ^H5542

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

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

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

The deep ^H8415 raised ^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 radiance ^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 the salvation ^H3468 of Your anointed ^H4899.

You smashed ^H4272 the head ^H7218 of the house ^H1004 of evil ^H7563

To uncover ^H6168 him from [fn]foot ^H3247 to neck ^H6677. Selah ^H5542

14 You pierced ^H5344 with his own [fn]arrows ^H4294

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

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

Their arrogance ^H5951 was like ^H3644 those

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

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

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

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

At the sound ^H6963, my lips ^H8193 quivered ^H6750.

Decay ^H7538 enters ^H935 my bones ^H6106,

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

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

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

17 Even ^H3588 if ^H3588 the fig ^H8384 tree ^H8384 does not blossom ^H6524,

And there ^H369 is ^H369 no ^H369 [fn]fruit ^H2981 on the vines ^H1612,

If the yield ^H4639 of the olive ^H2132 fails ^H3584,

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

Even if the flock ^H6629 disappears ^H1504 from the fold ^H4356,

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

18 Yet I will triumph ^H5937 in the LORD ^H3068,

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

19 The Lord ^H136 [fn]GOD ^H3068 is my strength ^H2428,

And He has made ^H7760 my feet ^H7272 like deer’s ^H355 feet,

And has me walk ^H1869 on my high ^H1116 places ^H1116.

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