Habakkuk 3:12-19
English Standard Version
12 (A)You marched through the earth in fury;
(B)you threshed the nations in anger.
13 (C)You went out for the salvation of your people,
for the salvation of (D)your anointed.
(E)You crushed the head of the house of the wicked,
laying him bare from thigh to neck.[a] 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 (F)You trampled the sea with your horses,
the surging of mighty waters.
16 (G)I hear, and (H)my body trembles;
my lips quiver at the sound;
(I)rottenness enters into my bones;
my legs tremble beneath me.
Yet (J)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 (K)yet I will rejoice in the Lord;
(L)I will take joy in the God of my salvation.
19 God, the Lord, is my strength;
(M)he makes my feet like the deer's;
he makes me (N)tread on my (O)high places.

Habakkuk 3:12-19
New International Version
12 In wrath you strode through the earth
and in anger you threshed(A) the nations.
13 You came out(B) to deliver(C) your people,
to save your anointed(D) one.
You crushed(E) the leader of the land of wickedness,
you stripped him from head to foot.
14 With his own spear you pierced his head
when his warriors stormed out to scatter us,(F)
gloating as though about to devour
the wretched(G) who were in hiding.
15 You trampled the sea(H) with your horses,
churning the great waters.(I)
16 I heard and my heart pounded,
my lips quivered at the sound;
decay crept into my bones,
and my legs trembled.(J)
Yet I will wait patiently(K) for the day of calamity
to come on the nation invading us.
17 Though the fig tree does not bud
and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
and the fields produce no food,(L)
though there are no sheep in the pen
and no cattle in the stalls,(M)
18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord,(N)
I will be joyful in God my Savior.(O)
19 The Sovereign Lord is my strength;(P)
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
he enables me to tread on the heights.(Q)
For the director of music. On my stringed instruments.
