耶和华的威严和权能

哈巴谷先知的祷告,配激动的音调。

耶和华啊!我听见你的声音,惧怕你的作为;

求你在这些年间复兴,在这些年间彰显,

发怒的时候以怜悯为怀。

 神由提幔而来,圣者从巴兰山临到。(细拉)

他的荣光弥漫穹苍,赞美他的声音响彻大地。

他的辉煌如光,手中四射光芒,就在其中隐藏着能力。

瘟疫在他面前行走,灾病在他脚下发出。

他站立,震撼全地;

他观看,惊散列国。

永在的山崩裂,长存的岭塌陷;

他的道路存到永远。

我看见古珊的帐棚遭难,米甸地的帐幕惊惶。

耶和华啊!你骑上你的马,乘驾得胜的战车,

难道是恼怒江河、向江河发怒、向海洋泄愤?

你的弓显露,你的箭上弦。(原文意义不明,这句参考RSV,JB等译本翻译)(细拉)

你裂开大地为江河。

10 诸山见你而颤抖,

众水暴流而过;

深渊发声,举手高扬。

11 日月停在本位,

你的箭发射如光;

你的矛闪烁辉耀。

12 你激愤践踏全地,你怀怒打碎列国。

13 你出来救拔子民,拯救你所膏立的。

你击打恶人的房顶,

使根基全然显露(原文作“直到颈项”,这是闪族语言惯用语,意即“到了极点”〔参赛8:8;诗75:5〕;另一可能是“大石”、“盘石”的意思)。(细拉)

14 你用他的枪,刺透他战士的头。

他们来如暴风,把我们驱散。

他们的喜好,是暗中吞噬穷人。

15 你乘马驰骋海上,大水汹涌翻腾。

16 我一听见,就全身发抖;

因这声音,我嘴唇震颤。

腐烂侵蚀我骨,我在站立之地战兢。

我静候灾难之日,犯境的民上来。

信心之歌

17 无花果树纵不发芽,葡萄树不结果,

橄榄树无所出,田里无收成,

圈内的羊被剪除,棚里也没有牛,

18 我却要因耶和华欢喜,

以救我的 神为乐。

19 主耶和华是我的力量,

他使我的脚快如母鹿的蹄,在高地上行走。

交诗班长,用丝弦的乐器伴奏。

The Prophet’s Prayer

A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, on [a]Shigionoth.

O Lord, I have heard Your speech and was afraid;
O Lord, revive Your work in the midst of the years!
In the midst of the years make it known;
In wrath remember mercy.

God came from Teman,
The Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah

His glory covered the heavens,
And the earth was full of His praise.
His brightness was like the light;
He had rays flashing from His hand,
And there His power was hidden.
Before Him went pestilence,
And fever followed at His feet.

He stood and measured the earth;
He looked and startled the nations.
(A)And the everlasting mountains were scattered,
The perpetual hills bowed.
His ways are everlasting.
I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction;
The curtains of the land of Midian trembled.

O Lord, were You displeased with the rivers,
Was Your anger against the rivers,
Was Your wrath against the sea,
That You rode on Your horses,
Your chariots of salvation?
Your bow was made quite ready;
Oaths were sworn over Your [b]arrows. Selah

You divided the earth with rivers.
10 The mountains saw You and trembled;
The overflowing of the water passed by.
The deep uttered its voice,
And (B)lifted its hands on high.
11 The (C)sun and moon stood still in their habitation;
At the light of Your arrows they went,
At the shining of Your glittering spear.

12 You marched through the land in indignation;
You [c]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 (D)You walked through the sea with Your horses,
Through the heap of great waters.

16 When I heard, (E)my body trembled;
My lips quivered at the voice;
Rottenness entered my bones;
And I trembled in myself,
That I might rest in the day of trouble.
When he comes up to the people,
He will invade them with his troops.

A Hymn of Faith

17 Though the fig tree may not blossom,
Nor fruit be on the vines;
Though the labor of the olive may fail,
And the fields yield no food;
Though the flock may be cut off from the fold,
And there be no herd in the stalls—
18 Yet I will (F)rejoice in the Lord,
I will joy in the God of my salvation.

19 [d]The Lord God is my strength;
He will make my feet like (G)deer’s feet,
And He will make me (H)walk on my high hills.

To the Chief Musician. With my stringed instruments.

A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth.

O Lord, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O Lord, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy.

God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise.

And his brightness was as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power.

Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet.

He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: his ways are everlasting.

I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: and the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.

Was the Lord displeased against the rivers? was thine anger against the rivers? was thy wrath against the sea, that thou didst ride upon thine horses and thy chariots of salvation?

Thy bow was made quite naked, according to the oaths of the tribes, even thy word. Selah. Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers.

10 The mountains saw thee, and they trembled: the overflowing of the water passed by: the deep uttered his voice, and lifted up his hands on high.

11 The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear.

12 Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou didst thresh the heathen in anger.

13 Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, even for salvation with thine anointed; thou woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked, by discovering the foundation unto the neck. Selah.

14 Thou didst strike through with his staves the head of his villages: they came out as a whirlwind to scatter me: their rejoicing was as to devour the poor secretly.

15 Thou didst walk through the sea with thine horses, through the heap of great waters.

16 When I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble: when he cometh up unto the people, he will invade them with his troops.

17 Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:

18 Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation.

19 The Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.

Habakkuk's Prayer

A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, according to Shigionoth.

O Lord, (A)I have heard the report of you,
    and (B)your work, O Lord, do I fear.
In the midst of the years (C)revive it;
    in the midst of the years make it known;
    (D)in wrath remember mercy.
God came from (E)Teman,
    (F)and the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah
His splendor covered the heavens,
    and the earth was full of his praise.
(G)His brightness was like the light;
    rays flashed from his hand;
    and there he veiled his power.
(H)Before him went pestilence,
    and plague followed (I)at his heels.[a]
He stood (J)and measured the earth;
    he looked and shook the nations;
then the (K)eternal mountains (L)were scattered;
    the everlasting hills sank low.
    His were (M)the everlasting ways.
I saw the tents of (N)Cushan in affliction;
    (O)the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.
(P)Was your wrath against the rivers, O Lord?
    Was your anger against the rivers,
    (Q)or your indignation against the sea,
(R)when you rode on your horses,
    (S)on your chariot of salvation?
You stripped the sheath from your bow,
    calling for many arrows.[b] Selah
    (T)You split the earth with rivers.
10 (U)The mountains saw you and writhed;
    the raging waters swept on;
(V)the deep gave forth its voice;
    (W)it lifted its hands on high.
11 (X)The sun and moon stood still in their place
    (Y)at the light of your arrows as they sped,
    at the flash of your glittering spear.
12 (Z)You marched through the earth in fury;
    (AA)you threshed the nations in anger.
13 (AB)You went out for the salvation of your people,
    for the salvation of (AC)your anointed.
(AD)You crushed the head of the house of the wicked,
    laying him bare from thigh to neck.[c] 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 (AE)You trampled the sea with your horses,
    the surging of mighty waters.

16 (AF)I hear, and (AG)my body trembles;
    my lips quiver at the sound;
(AH)rottenness enters into my bones;
    my legs tremble beneath me.
Yet (AI)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 (AJ)yet I will rejoice in the Lord;
    (AK)I will take joy in the God of my salvation.
19 God, the Lord, is my strength;
    (AL)he makes my feet like the deer's;
    he makes me (AM)tread on my (AN)high places.

(AO)To the choirmaster: with (AP)stringed[d] instruments.
