Habakkuk 3:5-11 New Living Translation (NLT)

5. Pestilence marches before him;plague follows close behind.

6. When he stops, the earth shakes.When he looks, the nations tremble.He shatters the everlasting mountainsand levels the eternal hills.He is the Eternal One!

7. I see the people of Cushan in distress,and the nation of Midian trembling in terror.

8. Was it in anger, lord, that you struck the riversand parted the sea?Were you displeased with them?No, you were sending your chariots of salvation!

9. You brandished your bowand your quiver of arrows.You split open the earth with flowing rivers.

10. The mountains watched and trembled.Onward swept the raging waters.The mighty deep cried out,lifting its hands in submission.

11. The sun and moon stood still in the skyas your brilliant arrows flewand your glittering spear flashed.
