Habakkuk
Chapter 03
{Note: Chapter 3 appears to be a psalm. 'Selah' means for the singers to rest while the orchestra plays on. It symbolizes how mankind rests, but the grace of God continues on.}
1a A prayer of Habakkuk, the prophet.
1b {Title} A 'dithyramb of madness' {shiggayown}.

O Jehovah/God,
I
have heard Your speech,
and
was afraid.
O
Jehovah/God,
revive
Your work
in
the middle of the years,
in
the middle of the years make known . . .
in
wrath remember mercy.
3a
'Elowahh/God came from Teman,
and
the Holy One from mount Paran.
Selah.
3b
His glory covered the heavens,
and
the earth was full of his praise.
4
And His brightness was as the light.
He
had horns coming out of His hand.
And
there was the hiding of His power.
5
Before Him went the pestilence,
and
burning coals went forth at His feet.
6
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.
7
I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction.
And
the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.
8
Was Jehovah/God displeased against the rivers?
Was
Your anger against the rivers?
Was
Your wrath against the sea,
that
You did ride upon Your horses and your chariots of salvation?
9a
Your bow was made quite naked,
according
to the oaths of the tribes,
even
Your word.
Selah.
9b You did cleave the earth with rivers.
10
The mountains saw You, 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 Your arrows they went,
and
at the shining of Your glittering spear.
12
You did march through the land in indignation,
You
did thresh the heathen in anger.
13
You went forth for the deliverance of Your people,
even
for deliverance with Your anointed.
You
wounded the head out of the house of the wicked,
by
discovering the foundation unto the neck.
Selah.
14
You did 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
You did walk through the sea with Your 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 comes 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
labor 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 Jehovah/God,
I
will joy in the 'Elohiym/Godhead of my deliverance.
19a
Jehovah/God Lord/'Adonay is my strength,
and
He will make my feet like hinds' feet,
and
He will make me to walk upon my high places.
19b To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.
