Habakkuk 3:12-15
New King James Version
12 You marched through the land in indignation;
You [a]trampled the nations in anger.
13 You went forth for the salvation of Your people,
For salvation with Your Anointed.
You struck the head from the house of the wicked,
By laying bare from foundation to neck. Selah
14 You thrust through with his own arrows
The head of his villages.
They came out like a whirlwind to scatter me;
Their rejoicing was like feasting on the poor in secret.
15 (A)You walked through the sea with Your horses,
Through the heap of great waters.
