[1] A prayer of Habakkuk, the prophet, set to victorious music.
[2] Yahweh, I have heard of your fame.
I stand in awe of your deeds, Yahweh.
Renew your work in the middle of the years.
In the middle of the years make it known.
In wrath, you remember mercy.
[3] God came from Teman,
the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah.His glory covered the heavens,
and his praise filled the earth.
[4] His splendor is like the sunrise.
Rays shine from his hand, where his power is hidden.
[5] Plague went before him,
and pestilence followed his feet.
[6] He stood, and shook the earth.
He looked, and made the nations tremble.
The ancient mountains were crumbled.
The age-old hills collapsed.
His ways are eternal.
[7] I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction.
The dwellings of the land of Midian trembled.
[8] Was Yahweh displeased with the rivers?
Was your anger against the rivers,
or your wrath against the sea,
that you rode on your horses,
on your chariots of salvation?
[9] You uncovered your bow.
You called for your sworn arrows. Selah.
You split the earth with rivers.
[10] The mountains saw you, and were afraid.
The storm of waters passed by.
The deep roared and lifted up its hands on high.
[11] The sun and moon stood still in the sky
at the light of your arrows as they went,
at the shining of your glittering spear.
[12] You marched through the land in wrath.
You threshed the nations in anger.
[13] You went out for the salvation of your people,
for the salvation of your anointed.
You crushed the head of the land of wickedness.
You stripped them head to foot. Selah. [14] You pierced the heads of his warriors with their own spears.
They came as a whirlwind to scatter me,
gloating as if to devour the wretched in secret.
[15] You trampled the sea with your horses,
churning mighty waters.
[16] I heard, and my body trembled.
My lips quivered at the voice.
Rottenness enters into my bones, and I tremble in my place
because I must wait quietly for the day of trouble,
for the coming up of the people who invade us.
[17] For even though the fig tree doesn’t flourish,
nor fruit be in the vines,
the labor of the olive fails,
the fields yield no food,
the flocks are cut off from the fold,
and there is no herd in the stalls,
[18] yet I will rejoice in Yahweh.
I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!
[19] Yahweh, the Lord,§ is my strength.
He makes my feet like deer’s feet,
and enables me to go in high places.For the music director, on my stringed instruments.

[2] O Lord, H3068 I have heard H8085 thy speech, H8088§ and was afraid: H3372
O Lord, H3068 revive H2421§ thy work H6467 in the midst H7130 of the years, H8141

[3] God H433 came H935 from Teman, H8487§
And the Holy One H6918 from mount H2022 Paran. H6290 Selah. H5542
His glory H1935 covered H3680 the heavens, H8064
And the earth H776 was full H4390 of his praise. H8416
[4] And his brightness H5051 was as the light; H216
He had horns H7161 coming out of his hand: H3027§
And there was the hiding H2253 of his power. H5797
[5] Before H6440 him went H3212 the pestilence, H1698
And burning coals H7565§ went forth H3318 at his feet. H7272
[6] He stood, H5975 and measured H4128 the earth: H776
He beheld, H7200 and drove asunder H5425 the nations; H1471
And the everlasting H5703 mountains H2042 were scattered, H6327
The perpetual H5769 hills H1389 did bow: H7817
His ways H1979 are everlasting. H5769
[7] I saw H7200 the tents H168 of Cushan H3572§ in affliction: H205§
And the curtains H3407 of the land H776 of Midian H4080 did tremble. H7264
[8] Was the Lord H3068 displeased H2734 against the rivers? H5104
Was thine anger H639 against the rivers? H5104

That thou didst ride H7392 upon thine horses H5483
And thy chariots H4818 of salvation? H3444§

[10] The mountains H2022 saw H7200 thee, and they trembled: H2342
The overflowing H2230 of the water H4325 passed by: H5674
The deep H8415 uttered H5414 his voice, H6963
And lifted up H5375 his hands H3027 on high. H7315
[11] The sun H8121 and moon H3394 stood still H5975 in their habitation: H2073
At the light H216 of thine arrows H2671§ they went, H1980
And at the shining H5051 of thy glittering H1300 spear. H2595
[12] Thou didst march through H6805 the land H776 in indignation, H2195
Thou didst thresh H1758 the heathen H1471 in anger. H639
[13] Thou wentest forth H3318 for the salvation H3468 of thy people, H5971
Even for salvation H3468 H853 with thine anointed; H4899

By discovering H6168§ the foundation H3247 unto H5704 the neck. H6677 Selah. H5542
[14] Thou didst strike through H5344 with his staves H4294 the head H7218 of his villages: H6518
They came out as a whirlwind H5590§ to scatter H6327 me:
Their rejoicing H5951 was as to devour H398 the poor H6041 secretly. H4565
[15] Thou didst walk H1869 through the sea H3220 with thine horses, H5483
Through the heap H2563§ of great H7227 waters. H4325
[16] When I heard, H8085 my belly H990 trembled; H7264
My lips H8193 quivered H6750 at the voice: H6963
Rottenness H7538 entered H935 into my bones, H6106 and I trembled H7264 in myself,
That I might rest H5117 in the day H3117 of trouble: H6869
When he cometh up H5927 unto the people, H5971
He will invade them§ with his troops. H1464
[17] Although the fig tree H8384 shall H6524 not H3808 blossom, H6524
Neither shall fruit H2981 be in the vines; H1612
The labour H4639 of the olive H2132 shall fail, H3584§
And the fields H7709 shall yield H6213 no meat; H400
The flock H6629 shall be cut off H1504 from the fold, H4356
And there shall be no herd H1241 in the stalls: H7517
[18] Yet I will rejoice H5937 in the Lord, H3068
I will joy H1523 in the God H430 of my salvation. H3468
[19] The Lord H3069 God H136 is my strength, H2428
And he will make H7760 my feet H7272 like hinds’ H355 feet,
And he will make me to walk H1869 upon mine high places. H1116To the chief singer H5329 on my stringed instruments. H5058§

[1] Προσευχὴ G4335 Αμβακουμ τοῦ G3588 προφήτου G4396 μετὰ G3326 ᾠδῆς. G5603 [2] Κύριε, G2962 εἰσακήκοα G1522 τὴν G3588 ἀκοήν G189 σου G4675 καὶ G2532 ἐφοβήθην, G5399 κατενόησα G2657 τὰ G3588 ἔργα G2041 σου G4675 καὶ G2532 ἐξέστην. G1839 Ἐν G1722 μέσῳ G3319 δύο G1417 ζῴων G2226 γνωσθήσῃ, G1097 ἐν G1722 τῷ G3588 ἐγγίζειν G1448 τὰ G3588 ἔτη G2094 ἐπιγνωσθήσῃ, G1921 ἐν G1722 τῷ G3588 παρεῖναι G3918 τὸν G3588 καιρὸν G2540 ἀναδειχθήσῃ, G322 ἐν G1722 τῷ G3588 ταραχθῆναι G5015 τὴν G3588 ψυχήν G5590 μου G3450 ἐν G1722 ὀργῇ G3709 ἐλέους G1656 μνησθήσῃ. [3] Ὁ G3588 θεὸς G2316 ἐκ G1537 Θαιμαν ἥξει, G2240 καὶ G2532 ὁ G3588 ἅγιος G40 ἐξ G1537 ὄρους G3735 κατασκίου δασέος. Διάψαλμα.

G846 [6] Ἔστη, G2476 καὶ G2532 ἐσαλεύθη G4531 ἡ G3588 γῆ· G1093 ἐπέβλεψεν, G1914 καὶ G2532 διετάκη ἔθνη. G1484 Διεθρύβη τὰ G3588 ὄρη G3735 βίᾳ, G970 ἐτάκησαν G5080 βουνοὶ G1015 αἰώνιοι. G166 [7] Πορείας G4197 αἰωνίας G166 αὐτοῦ G846 ἀντὶ G473 κόπων G2873 εἶδον· G1492 σκηνώματα G4638 Αἰθιόπων G128 πτοηθήσονται G4422 καὶ G2532 αἱ G3588 σκηναὶ G4633 γῆς G1093 Μαδιαμ.

G4183 [16] Ἐφυλαξάμην, G5442 καὶ G2532 ἐπτοήθη G4422 ἡ G3588 κοιλία G2836 μου G3450 ἀπὸ G575 φωνῆς G5456 προσευχῆς G4335 χειλέων G5491 μου, G3450 καὶ G2532 εἰσῆλθεν G1525 τρόμος G5156 εἰς G1519 τὰ G3588 ὀστᾶ G3747 μου, G3450 καὶ G2532 ὑποκάτωθέν μου G3450 ἐταράχθη G5015 ἡ G3588 ἕξις G1838 μου. G3450 Ἀναπαύσομαι G373 ἐν G1722 ἡμέρᾳ G2250 θλίψεως G2347 τοῦ G3588 ἀναβῆναι G305 εἰς G1519 λαὸν G2992 παροικίας G3940 μου. G3450 [17] Διότι G1360 συκῆ G4808 οὐ G3756 καρποφορήσει, G2592 καὶ G2532 οὐκ G3756 ἔσται G2071 γενήματα G1081 ἐν G1722 ταῖς G3588 ἀμπέλοις· G288 ψεύσεται G5574 ἔργον G2041 ἐλαίας, G1636 καὶ G2532 τὰ G3588 πεδία οὐ G3756 ποιήσει G4160 βρῶσιν· G1035 ἐξέλιπον G1587 ἀπὸ G575 βρώσεως G1035 πρόβατα, G4263 καὶ G2532 οὐχ G3756 ὑπάρχουσιν G5225 βόες G1016 ἐπὶ G1909 φάτναις. G5336 [18] Ἐγὼ G1473 δὲ G1161 ἐν G1722 τῷ G3588 κυρίῳ G2962 ἀγαλλιάσομαι, G21 χαρήσομαι G5463 ἐπὶ G1909 τῷ G3588 θεῷ G2316 τῷ G3588 σωτῆρί G4990 μου. G3450 [19] Κύριος G2962 ὁ G3588 θεὸς G2316 δύναμίς G1411 μου G3450 καὶ G2532 τάξει G5010 τοὺς G3588 πόδας G4228 μου G3450 εἰς G1519 συντέλειαν· G4930 ἐπὶ G1909 τὰ G3588 ὑψηλὰ G5308 ἐπιβιβᾷ G1913 με G3165 τοῦ G3588 νικῆσαι G3528 ἐν G1722 τῇ G3588 ᾠδῇ G5603 αὐτοῦ.
