Habakkuk 3
1
A prayer of Habakkuk, the prophet, set to victorious music.
2
In wrath, you remember mercy.
3
and his praise filled the earth.
4
Rays shine from his hand, where his power is hidden.
5
and pestilence followed his feet.
6
His ways are eternal.
7
The dwellings of the land of Midian trembled.
8
on your chariots of salvation?
9
You split the earth with rivers.
10
The deep roared and lifted up its hands on high.
11
at the shining of your glittering spear.
12
You threshed the nations in anger.
13
You stripped them head to foot.
14
gloating as if to devour the wretched in secret.
15
churning mighty waters.
16
for the coming up of the people who invade us.
17
and there is no herd in the stalls:
18
I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!
