Habakkuk 3:1-19 - I Will Wait

Habakkuk's Prayer--3 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, according to Shigionoth.--2 O Lord, I have heard the report of you,- and your work, O Lord, do I fear.-In the midst of the years revive it-- in the midst of the years make it known-- in wrath remember mercy.-3 God came from Teman,- and the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah-His splendor covered the heavens,- and the earth was full of his praise.-4 His brightness was like the light-- rays flashed from his hand-- and there he veiled his power.-5 Before him went pestilence,- and plague followed at his heels.-a--6 He stood and measured the earth-- he looked and shook the nations--then the eternal mountains were scattered-- the everlasting hills sank low.- His were the everlasting ways.-7 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction-- the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.-8 Was your wrath against the rivers, O Lord-- Was your anger against the rivers,- or your indignation against the sea,-when you rode on your horses,- on your chariot of salvation--9 You stripped the sheath from your bow,- calling for many arrows.-b- Selah- You split the earth with rivers.-10 The mountains saw you and writhed-- the raging waters swept on--the deep gave forth its voice-- it lifted its hands on high.-11 The sun and moon stood still in their place- at the light of your arrows as they sped,- at the flash of your glittering spear.-12 You marched through the earth in fury-- 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 house of the wicked,- laying him bare from thigh to
