Habacuc 3
Dios Habla Hoy
3 Ésta es una oración del profeta Habacuc.
2 Lo que oigo acerca de ti, Señor,
y de todo lo que has hecho,
me llena de profunda reverencia.
Realiza ahora, en nuestra vida,
tus grandes acciones de otros tiempos,
para que nosotros también las conozcamos.
Muéstranos así tu compasión
aun en medio de tu enojo.
3 Dios viene de la región de Temán;
del monte Parán viene el Dios Santo.
Su gloria se extiende por todo el cielo,
y el mundo entero se llena de su alabanza.
4 Viene envuelto en brillante resplandor,
y de sus manos brotan rayos de luz
que muestran el poder que en él se esconde.
5 Delante de él llegan plagas terribles,
y detrás la fiebre abrasadora.
6 La tierra tiembla cuando él se detiene;
se estremecen las naciones cuando las mira;
las viejas montañas se derrumban
y se deshacen los montes antiguos;
pero los caminos de Dios son eternos.
7 Yo he visto a la gente de Cusán
hundida en la desgracia,
a los habitantes de Madián
encogidos por el miedo.
8 ¿Te has enojado, Señor, contra los ríos?
¿Se ha encendido tu furor contra los mares?
¿Cabalgas por eso en tus caballos
y montas así en tu carro victorioso?
9 Tienes el arco preparado
y dispuestas todas tus flechas.
Con los ríos has abierto surcos en la tierra.
10 Las montañas tiemblan al verte;
cae del cielo la lluvia torrencial,
y el mar profundo da su rugido
mientras se alzan sus olas inmensas.
11 El sol y la luna no salen de su escondite
ante el vivo resplandor de tus flechas
y la luz relampagueante de tu lanza.
12 En tu enojo recorres toda la tierra;
en tu furor pisoteas las naciones.
13 Tú has salido en ayuda de tu pueblo
y del rey que tú mismo escogiste.
Has destruido el techo de la casa del malvado,
y has descubierto hasta la roca sus cimientos.
14 Mataste a su jefe con sus propias flechas,
cuando sus jinetes, como una tempestad,
se lanzaron arrogantes
a dispersar a los indefensos,
para destruirlos en secreto.
15 Con tus caballos recorres el mar,
la gran extensión de las aguas profundas.
16 Al oír todo esto tuve miedo.
Mis labios se pusieron a temblar,
mis piernas dejaron de sostenerme
y todo mi cuerpo perdió sus fuerzas.
Aun así, esperaré tranquilo
el día en que Dios ponga en angustia
al ejército de nuestros opresores.
17-18 Entonces me llenaré de alegría
a causa del Señor mi salvador.
Le alabaré aunque no florezcan las higueras
ni den fruto los viñedos y los olivares;
aunque los campos no den su cosecha;
aunque se acaben los rebaños de ovejas
y no haya reses en los establos.
19 Porque el Señor me da fuerzas;
da a mis piernas la ligereza del ciervo
y me lleva a alturas donde estaré a salvo.
Habakkuk 3
King James Version
3 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth.
2 O Lord, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O Lord, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make 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 horns coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power.
5 Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet.
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.
7 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: and the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.
8 Was the Lord 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?
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.
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.
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.
12 Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou didst thresh the heathen in anger.
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.
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.
15 Thou didst walk through the sea with thine horses, through the heap of great waters.
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.
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:
18 Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
19 The Lord God 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.
Habakkuk 3
English Standard Version
Habakkuk's Prayer
3 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, according to Shigionoth.
2 O Lord, (A)I have heard the report of you,
and (B)your work, O Lord, do I fear.
In the midst of the years (C)revive it;
in the midst of the years make it known;
(D)in wrath remember mercy.
3 God came from (E)Teman,
(F)and the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah
His splendor covered the heavens,
and the earth was full of his praise.
4 (G)His brightness was like the light;
rays flashed from his hand;
and there he veiled his power.
5 (H)Before him went pestilence,
and plague followed (I)at his heels.[a]
6 He stood (J)and measured the earth;
he looked and shook the nations;
then the (K)eternal mountains (L)were scattered;
the everlasting hills sank low.
His were (M)the everlasting ways.
7 I saw the tents of (N)Cushan in affliction;
(O)the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.
8 (P)Was your wrath against the rivers, O Lord?
Was your anger against the rivers,
(Q)or your indignation against the sea,
(R)when you rode on your horses,
(S)on your chariot of salvation?
9 You stripped the sheath from your bow,
calling for many arrows.[b] Selah
(T)You split the earth with rivers.
10 (U)The mountains saw you and writhed;
the raging waters swept on;
(V)the deep gave forth its voice;
(W)it lifted its hands on high.
11 (X)The sun and moon stood still in their place
(Y)at the light of your arrows as they sped,
at the flash of your glittering spear.
12 (Z)You marched through the earth in fury;
(AA)you threshed the nations in anger.
13 (AB)You went out for the salvation of your people,
for the salvation of (AC)your anointed.
(AD)You crushed the head of the house of the wicked,
laying him bare from thigh to neck.[c] Selah
14 You 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 (AE)You trampled the sea with your horses,
the surging of mighty waters.
16 (AF)I hear, and (AG)my body trembles;
my lips quiver at the sound;
(AH)rottenness enters into my bones;
my legs tremble beneath me.
Yet (AI)I will quietly wait for the day of trouble
to come upon people who invade us.
Habakkuk Rejoices in the Lord
17 Though 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 (AJ)yet I will rejoice in the Lord;
(AK)I will take joy in the God of my salvation.
19 God, the Lord, is my strength;
(AL)he makes my feet like the deer's;
he makes me (AM)tread on my (AN)high places.
