Habakkuk 3

¹A prayer of Habakkuk the Prophet for the ignorances.

²O Lord, I haue heard thy voyce, and was afraide: O Lord, reuiue thy worke in the mids of the people, in the mids of the yeeres make it knowen: in wrath remember mercy.

³God commeth from Teman, and the holy one from mount Paran, Selah. His glory couereth the heauens, and the earth is full of his prayse,

⁴And his brightnes was as the light: he had hornes comming out of his hands, and there was the hiding of his power.

⁵Before him went the pestilence, and burning coales went forth before his feete.

⁶He stoode and measured the earth: he behelde and dissolued the nations and the euerlasting mountaines were broken, and the ancient hilles did bowe: his wayes are euerlasting.

⁷For his iniquitie I sawe the tentes of Cushan, and the curtaines of the land of Midian did tremble.

⁸Was the Lord angry against the riuers? or was thine anger against the floods? or was thy wrath against the sea, that thou diddest ride vpon thine horses? thy charets brought saluation.

⁹Thy bowe was manifestly reueiled, and the othes of the tribes were a sure worde, Selah. thou diddest cleaue the earth with riuers.

¹⁰The mountaines sawe thee, and they trembled: the streame of the water passed by: the deepe made a noyse, and lift vp his hand on hie.

¹¹The sunne and moone stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrowes they went, and at the bright shining of thy speares.

Thou trodest downe the land in anger, and didest thresh the heathen in displeasure.
