  3:1 ¶
A PRAYER OF THE PROPHET AMBACUM, WITH A SONG. |
|
3:1 ¶
A prayer°
of Habakkuk°
the prophet°
upon°
Shigionoth.° |
|
3:2
O Lord, I have heard thy report, and was afraid: I considered thy works, and was amazed: thou shalt be known between the two living creatures, thou shalt be acknowledged when the years draw nigh; thou shalt be manifested when the time is come; when my soul is troubled, thou wilt in wrath remember mercy. |
|
3:2
O Yahweh,°
I have heard°°
thy speech,°
[and] was afraid:°°
O Yahweh,°
revive°°
thy work°
in the midst°
of the years,°
in the midst°
of the years°
make known;°°
in wrath°
remember°°
mercy.°° |
|
3:3
God shall come from Teman{gr.Thaeman}, and the Holy One from the dark shady mount Paran{gr.Pharan}. Pause. |
|
3:3
Eloah°
came°°
from Teman,°°
and the Holy One°
from mount°°
Paran.°
Selah.°
His glory°
covered°°
the heavens,°
and the earth°
was full°°
of his praise.° |
|
3:4
His excellence covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise. And his brightness shall be as light; [there were] horns in his hands, and he caused a mighty love of his strength. |
|
3:4
And [his] brightness°
was°
as the light;°
he had horns°
[coming] out of his hand:°°
and there°
[was] the hiding°
of his power.° |
|
3:5
Before his face shall go a report, and it shall go forth into the plains, |
|
3:5
Before°
him went°°°
the pestilence,°
and burning coals°
went forth°°
at his feet.° |
|
3:6
the earth stood at his feet and trembled: he beheld, and the nations melted away: the mountains were violently burst through, the everlasting hills melted at his everlasting going forth. |
|
3:6
He stood,°°
and measured°°
the earth:°
he beheld,°°
and drove asunder°°
the nations;°
and the everlasting°
mountains°
were scattered,°°
the perpetual°
hills°
did bow:°°
his ways°
[are] everlasting.° |
|
3:7
Because of troubles I looked upon the tents of the Ethiopians: the tabernacles also of the land of Midian{gr.Madiam} shall be dismayed. |
|
3:7
I saw°°
the tents°
of Cushan°
in°
affliction:°
[and] the curtains°
of the land°
of Midian°
did tremble.°° |
|
3:8
Wast thou angry, O Lord, with the rivers? or [was] thy wrath against the rivers, or thine anger against the sea? for thou wilt mount on thine horses, and thy chariots are salvation. |
|
3:8
Was Yahweh°
displeased°°
against the rivers?°
[was] thine anger°
against the rivers?°
[was] thy wrath°
against the sea,°
that°
thou didst ride°°
upon°
thine horses°
[and] thy chariots°
of salvation?° |
|
3:9
Surely thou didst bend they bow at scepters, saith the Lord. Pause. The land of rivers shall be torn asunder. |
|
3:9
Thy bow°
was made quite°
naked,°°°
[according] to the oaths°
of the tribes,°
[even thy] word.°
Selah.°
Thou didst cleave°°
the earth°
with rivers.° |
|
3:10
The nations shall see thee and be in pain, [as thou dost] divide the moving waters: the deep uttered her voice, and raised her form on high. |
|
3:10
The mountains°
saw°°
thee, [and] they trembled:°°
the overflowing°
of the water°
passed by:°°
the deep°
uttered°°
his voice,°
[and] lifted up°°
his hands°
on high.° |
|
3:11
The sun was exalted, and the moon stood still in her course: thy darts shall go forth at the light, at the brightness of the gleaming of thine arms. |
|
3:11
The sun°
[and] moon°
stood still°°
in their habitation:°
at the light°
of thine arrows°
they went,°°
[and] at the shining°
of thy glittering°
spear.° |
|
3:12
Thou wilt bring low the land with threatening, and in wrath thou wilt break down the nations. |
|
3:12
Thou didst march through°°
the land°
in indignation,°
thou didst thresh°°
the heathen°
in anger.° |
|
3:13
Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, to save thine anointed: thou shalt bring death on the heads of transgressors; thou has brought bands upon [their] neck. Pause. |
|
3:13
Thou wentest forth°°
for the salvation°
of thy people,°
[even] for salvation°
with°
thine anointed;°
thou woundedst°°
the head°
out of the house°°
of the wicked,°
by discovering°°
the foundation°
unto°
the neck.°
Selah.° |
|
3:14
Thou didst cut asunder the heads of princes with amazement, they shall tremble in it; they shall burst their bridles, [they shall be] as a poor man devouring in secret. |
|
3:14
Thou didst strike through°°
with his staves°
the head°
of his villages:°
they came out as a whirlwind°°
to scatter°°
me: their rejoicing°
[was] as°
to devour°°
the poor°
secretly.° |
|
3:15
And thou dost cause thine horses to enter the sea, disturbing much water. |
|
3:15
Thou didst walk°°
through the sea°
with thine horses,°
[through] the heap°
of great°
waters.° |
|
3:16
I watched, and my belly trembled at the sound of the prayer of my lips, and trembling entered into my bones, and my frame was troubled within me; I will rest in the day of affliction, from going up to the people of my sojourning. |
|
3:16
When I heard,°°
my belly°
trembled;°°
my lips°
quivered°°
at the voice:°
rottenness°
entered°°
into my bones,°
and I trembled°°
in°
myself, that°
I might rest°°
in the day°
of trouble:°
when he cometh up°°
unto the people,°
he will invade°
them with his troops.°° |
|
3:17 ¶
For [though] the fig-tree shall bear no fruit, and there shall be no produce on the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall produce no food: the sheep have failed from the pasture, and there are no oxen at the cribs; |
|
3:17 ¶
Although°
the fig tree°
shall not°
blossom,°°
neither°
[shall] fruit°
[be] in the vines;°
the labour°
of the olive°
shall fail,°°
and the fields°
shall yield°°
no°
meat;°
the flock°
shall be cut off°°
from the fold,°°
and [there shall be] no°
herd°
in the stalls:° |
|
3:18
yet I will exult in the Lord, I will joy in God my Saviour. |
|
3:18
Yet I°
will rejoice°°
in Yahweh,°
I will joy°°
in the Elohim°
of my salvation.° |
|
3:19
The Lord God is my strength, and he will perfectly strengthen my feet; he mounts me upon high places, that I may conquer by his song. |
|
3:19
Yahweh°°
Adonai°
[is] my strength,°
and he will make°°
my feet°
like hinds'°
[feet], and he will make me to walk°°
upon°
mine high places.°
To the chief singer°°
on my stringed instruments.° |
