1A prayer of Habakkuk, the prophet, set to victorious music.
2LORD, I have heard of your fame.
3God came from Teman,
4His splendour is like the sunrise.
5Plague went before him,
6He stood, and shook the earth.
7I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction.
8Was the LORD displeased with the rivers?
9You uncovered your bow.
10The mountains saw you, and were afraid.
11The sun and moon stood still in the sky
12You marched through the land in wrath.
13You went out for the salvation of your people,
14You pierced the heads of his warriors with their own spears.
15You trampled the sea with your horses,
16I heard, and my body trembled.
17For even though the fig tree doesn’t flourish,
18yet I will rejoice in the LORD.
19GOD, the Lord,3:19 The word translated “Lord” (mixed case) is “Adonai.” is my strength.
