Habakkuk 3:12-19

New American Standard Bible

¹² In indignation You ^(A)marched through the earth;
In anger You ^[a](B)trampled the nations.
¹³ You went forth for the ^(C)salvation of Your people,
For the salvation of Your ^(D)anointed.
You smashed the ^(E)head of the house of evil
To uncover him from ^[b]foot to neck. Selah
¹⁴ You pierced with his ^(F)own ^[c]arrows
The head of his ^[d]leaders.
They ^(G)stormed in to scatter ^[e]us;
Their arrogance was like those
Who ^(H)devour the oppressed in secret.
¹⁵ You ^(I)trampled on the sea with Your horses,
On the ^(J)foam of many waters.

¹⁶ I heard, and my ^[f]inner parts ^(K)trembled;
At the sound, my lips quivered.
Decay enters my ^(L)bones,
And in my place I tremble;
Because I ^[g]must ^(M)wait quietly for the day of distress,
^[h]For the ^(N)people to arise who will attack us.
¹⁷ Even if the ^(O)fig tree does not blossom,
And there is no ^[i]fruit on the vines,
If the yield of the ^(P)olive fails,
And the fields produce no food,
Even if the ^(Q)flock disappears from the fold,
And there are ^(R)no cattle in the stalls,
¹⁸ Yet I will ^(S)triumph in the Lord,
I will ^(T)rejoice in the ^(U)God of my salvation.
¹⁹ The Lord ^[j]God is my ^(V)strength,
And ^(W)He has made my feet like deer’s feet,
And has me walk on my ^(X)high places.
