MLV(i)
1 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, set to Shigionoth.
2 O Jehovah, I have heard the report of you and am afraid. O Jehovah, revive your work in the midst of the years. In the midst of the years make it known. In wrath remember mercy.
3 God came from Teman and the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens and the earth was full of his praise. 4 And his brightness was as the light. He had rays from his hand and there was the hiding of his power. 5 Before him went the pestilence. And fiery bolts went forth at his feet.
6 He stood and measured the earth. He beheld and drove apart the nations. And the eternal mountains were scattered. The everlasting hills bowed. His traveling are everlasting.
7 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction. The curtains of the land of Midian trembled. 8 Was Jehovah displeased with the rivers? Was your anger against the rivers, or your wrath against the sea, that you rode upon your horses, upon your chariots of salvation?
9 Your bow was exposed. Naked are the oaths of the tribes to your word. Selah. You split the earth with rivers. 10 The mountains saw you and were afraid. The tempest of waters passed by. The deep uttered its voice and lifted up its hands on high. 11 The sun and moon stood still in their habitation, at the light of your arrows as they went, at the shining of your glittering spear.
12 You marched though the land in indignation. You threshed the nations in anger. 13 You went forth for the salvation of your people, for the salvation of your anointed.
You wound the head out of the house of the wicked man, laying bare the foundation even to the neck. Selah. 14 You pierced with his own staves the head of his warriors. They came as a whirlwind to scatter me. Their rejoicing was as to devour the poor man secretly. 15 You walked through the sea with your horses, the heap of mighty waters.
16 I heard and my body trembled. My lips quivered at the voice. Rottenness enters into my bones and I tremble in my place, because I must wait quietly for the day of trouble, for the coming up of the people who invade us.
17 For though the fig tree will not flourish, nor will fruit be in the vines; the labor of the olive will fail and the fields will yield no food; the flock will be cut off from the fold and there will be no herd in the stalls; 18 yet I will rejoice in Jehovah. I will joy in the God of my salvation.
19 Jehovah, the Lord, is my strength. And he makes my feet like female-deers' feet and will make me to walk upon my high places
