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.
