Habakkuk 3:3-15
Christian Standard Bible
3 God comes from Teman,
the Holy One from Mount Paran.(A)Selah
His splendor covers the heavens,
and the earth is full of his praise.(B)
4 His brilliance is like light;
rays are flashing from his hand.
This is where his power is hidden.
5 Plague goes before him,
and pestilence follows in his steps.
6 He stands and shakes[a] the earth;(C)
he looks and startles the nations.
The age-old mountains break apart;
the ancient hills sink down.(D)
His pathways are ancient.(E)
7 I see the tents of Cushan[b] in distress;
the tent curtains of the land of Midian tremble.
8 Are you angry at the rivers, Lord?
Is your wrath against the rivers?
Or is your fury against the sea
when you ride on your horses,
your victorious chariot?(F)
9 You took the sheath from your bow;
the arrows are ready[c] to be used with an oath.[d](G)Selah
You split the earth with rivers.
10 The mountains see you and shudder;(H)
a downpour of water sweeps by.
The deep roars with its voice(I)
and lifts its waves[e] high.
11 Sun and moon stand still in their lofty residence,(J)
at the flash of your flying arrows,
at the brightness of your shining spear.
12 You march across the earth with indignation;
you trample down the nations in wrath.(K)
13 You come out to save your people,(L)
to save your anointed.[f]
You crush the leader of the house of the wicked
and strip him from foot[g] to neck.Selah
14 You pierce his head
with his own spears;
his warriors storm out to scatter us,
gloating as if ready to secretly devour the weak.
15 You tread the sea with your horses,
stirring up the vast water.(M)

New International Version
3 God came from Teman,(A)
the Holy One(B) from Mount Paran.[a](C)
His glory covered the heavens(D)
and his praise filled the earth.(E)
4 His splendor was like the sunrise;(F)
rays flashed from his hand,
where his power(G) was hidden.
5 Plague(H) went before him;
pestilence followed his steps.
6 He stood, and shook the earth;
he looked, and made the nations tremble.
The ancient mountains crumbled(I)
and the age-old hills(J) collapsed(K)—
but he marches on forever.(L)
7 I saw the tents of Cushan in distress,
the dwellings of Midian(M) in anguish.(N)
8 Were you angry with the rivers,(O) Lord?
Was your wrath against the streams?
Did you rage against the sea(P)
when you rode your horses
and your chariots to victory?(Q)
9 You uncovered your bow,
you called for many arrows.(R)
You split the earth with rivers;
10 the mountains saw you and writhed.(S)
Torrents of water swept by;
the deep roared(T)
and lifted its waves(U) on high.
11 Sun and moon stood still(V) in the heavens
at the glint of your flying arrows,(W)
at the lightning(X) of your flashing spear.
12 In wrath you strode through the earth
and in anger you threshed(Y) the nations.
13 You came out(Z) to deliver(AA) your people,
to save your anointed(AB) one.
You crushed(AC) the leader of the land of wickedness,
you stripped him from head to foot.
14 With his own spear you pierced his head
when his warriors stormed out to scatter us,(AD)
gloating as though about to devour
the wretched(AE) who were in hiding.
15 You trampled the sea(AF) with your horses,
churning the great waters.(AG)
