Habakkuk 3:9-18 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

9. You took the sheath from Your bow;the arrows are ready to be used with an oath. SelahYou split the earth with rivers.

10. The mountains see You and shudder; a downpour of water sweeps by.The deep roars with its voice and lifts its waves high.

11. Sun and moon stand still in their lofty residence, 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.

13. You come out to save Your people, to save Your anointed. You crush the leader of the house of the wickedand strip him from foot to neck.Selah

14. You pierce his headwith 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 great waters.

16. I heard, and I trembled within; my lips quivered at the sound.Rottenness entered my bones;I trembled where I stood.Now I must quietly wait for the day of distress to come against the people invading us.

17. Though the fig tree does not budand there is no fruit on the vines,though the olive crop failsand the fields produce no food,though there are no sheep in the penand no cattle in the stalls,

18. yet I will triumph in Yahweh;I will rejoice in the God of my salvation!
