Habakkuk 3:8-11

New American Standard Bible

⁸Did the Lord rage against the ^(A)rivers,
Or was Your anger against the rivers,
Or was Your rage against the ^(B)sea,
That You ^(C)rode on Your horses,
On Your ^(D)chariots of salvation?
⁹You removed Your ^(E)bow from its holder,
The arrows of Your word were ^[a]sworn. Selah
You ^(F)divided the earth with rivers.
¹⁰The mountains saw You and quaked;
The downpour of waters swept by.
The deep ^(G)raised its voice,
It lifted high its hands.
¹¹^(H)Sun and moon stood in their lofty places;
They went away at the ^(I)light of Your arrows,
At the radiance of Your flashing spear.
