New Century Version

Habakkuk 3:6-14 New Century Version (NCV)

6. He stands and shakes the earth.He looks, and the nations shake with fear.The mountains, which stood for ages, break into pieces;the old hills fall down.God has always done this.

7. I saw that the tents of Cushan were in troubleand that the tents of Midian trembled.

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

9. You uncovered your bowand 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.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 arrowsand the gleam of your shining spear.

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

13. You came out to save your people,to save your chosen one.You crushed the leader of the wicked onesand took everything he had, from head to toe.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 happyas they were robbing the poor people in secret.
