| 1 | A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth. |
| 2 | O Lord, I have heard thy speech, {and} was afraid: O Lord, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy. |
| 3 | God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise. |
| 4 | And {his} brightness was as the light; he had horns {coming} out of his hand: and there {was} the hiding of his power. |
| 5 | Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet. |
| 6 | He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: his ways {are} everlasting. |
| 7 | I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: {and} the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble. |
| 8 | Was the Lord displeased against the rivers? {was} thine anger against the rivers? {was} thy wrath against the sea, that thou didst ride upon thine horses {and} thy chariots of salvation? |
| 9 | Thy bow was made quite naked, {according} to the oaths of the tribes, {even thy} word. Selah. Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers. |
| 10 | The mountains saw thee, {and} they trembled: the overflowing of the water passed by: the deep uttered his voice, {and} lifted up his hands on high. |
| 11 | The sun {and} moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, {and} at the shining of thy glittering spear. |
| 12 | Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou didst thresh the heathen in anger. |
| 13 | Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, {even} for salvation with thine anointed; thou woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked, by discovering the foundation unto the neck. Selah. |
| 14 | Thou didst strike through with his staves the head of his villages: they came out as a whirlwind to scatter me: their rejoicing {was} as to devour the poor secretly. |
| 15 | Thou didst walk through the sea with thine horses, {through} the heap of great waters. |
| 16 | When I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble: when he cometh up unto the people, he will invade them with his troops. |
| 17 | Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither {shall} fruit {be} in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and {there shall be} no herd in the stalls: |
| 18 | Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. |
| 19 | The Lord God {is} my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds’ {feet}, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments. |
