The Scriptures 1998

Habakkuk 3:12-19 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

12. You step through the earth in rage, You thresh the gentiles in wrath.

13. You shall go forth to save Your people, To save Your Anointed. You shall smite the Head from the house of the wrong, By laying bare from foundation to neck. Selah.

14. You shall pierce with his own arrows The head of his leaders. They stormed along to scatter me, Rejoicing as if to devour the poor in secret.

15. You shall tread the sea with Your horses, The foaming of many waters.

16. I heard, and my body trembled, My lips quivered at the sound, Rottenness came into my bones. And I trembled within myself, That I might rest for the day of distress, To come upon the people who would attack us.

17. Though the fig tree does not blossom, And there is no fruit on the vine, The yield of the olive has failed, And the fields brought forth no food, The flock has been cut off from the fold, And there is no herd in the stalls,

18. Yet I exult in יהוה, I rejoice in the Elohim of my deliverance.

19. יהוה the Master is my strength. And He makes my feet like those of deer, And makes me walk on my high places. To the chief singer with my stringed instruments.
