Habakkuk 3:8-15 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

8. Lord, were you angry at the rivers?Were you angry at the streams?Were you angry with the seawhen you rode your horses and chariots to victory?

9. You uncovered your bow.You commanded many arrows to be brought to you. SelahYou split the earth with rivers.

10. The mountains saw you and shook with fear.The rushing water flowed by.The sea made a loud noise,and its waves rose high.

11. The sun and moon stood still in the sky.They stopped when they saw the flash of your flying arrows.They stopped when they saw the gleam of your shining spear.

12. In anger you marched on the earth.In anger you punished the nations.

13. You came to save your people.You came to save your chosen one.You crushed the leader of the wicked ones.You took everything away from them. Selah

14. With the enemy’s own spear you stabbed the leader of his army.His soldiers rushed out like a storm to scatter us.They were happy as ifthey were robbing the poor people in secret.

15. But you marched through the sea with your horses,stirring the great waters.
