Habakkuk 3:13-19

English Standard Version

¹³^(A)You went out for the salvation of your people,
    for the salvation of ^(B)your anointed.
^(C)You crushed the head of the house of the wicked,
    laying him bare from thigh to neck.^[a] Selah
¹⁴You pierced with his own arrows the heads of his warriors,
    who came like a whirlwind to scatter me,
    rejoicing as if to devour the poor in secret.
¹⁵^(D)You trampled the sea with your horses,
    the surging of mighty waters.

¹⁶^(E)I hear, and ^(F)my body trembles;
    my lips quiver at the sound;
^(G)rottenness enters into my bones;
    my legs tremble beneath me.
Yet ^(H)I will quietly wait for the day of trouble
    to come upon people who invade us.

Habakkuk Rejoices in the Lord

¹⁷Though the fig tree should not blossom,
    nor fruit be on the vines,
the produce of the olive fail
    and the fields yield no food,
the flock be cut off from the fold
    and there be no herd in the stalls,
¹⁸^(I)yet I will rejoice in the Lord;
    ^(J)I will take joy in the God of my salvation.
¹⁹God, the Lord, is my strength;
    ^(K)he makes my feet like the deer's;
    he makes me ^(L)tread on my ^(M)high places.
