Habakkuk's Prayer
1 THE prayer of Habacuc the prophet for ignorances.📜💬📚
2 Lord I heard thy hearing, and was afraid. Lord thy work in the midst of years, quicken it: In the midst of years shalt thou make it known: when thou art angry, thou wilt remember mercy.📜💬📚
3 God will come from the South, and the holy one from mount Pharan: His glory shall cover the heavens, and the earth is full of his praise.📜💬📚
4 His brightness shall be as the light, horns in his hands: There is his strength hid.📜💬📚
5 Before his face shall death go, and the devil shall go forth before his feet.📜💬📚
6 He stood and measured the earth, he beheld, and dissolved the Gentiles: and the mountains of the world were broken. The hills of the world were bowed, by the ways of his eternity.📜💬📚
7 For iniquity I saw the tents of Aethiopia, the skins of the land of Madian shall be troubled.📜💬📚
8 Why, wast thou angry with the rivers o Lord? Or was thy fury in the rivers? Or thine indignation in the sea? Who wilt mount upon thy horses, and thy chariots, salvation.📜💬📚
9 Raising thou wilt raise up thy bow: the oath to the tribes which thou hast spoken. Thou wilt cut the rivers of the earth.📜💬📚
10 The mountains saw thee, and were sorry, the gulf of water passed. The depth gave his voice: the height lifted up his hands.📜💬📚
11 The sun and the moon stood in their habitation, in the light of thine arrows, they shall go in the brightness of thy glittering spear.📜💬📚
12 In fretting thou wilt tread down the earth: in fury thou wilt astonish the Gentiles.📜💬📚
13 Thou went forth the salvation of thy people: salvation with thy Christ. Thou struckest the head out of the house of the impious, thou hast discovered the foundation even to the neck.📜💬📚
14 Thou hast cursed his sceptres, the head of his warriors, them that come as a whirlwind to disperse me. Their exultation, as his that devoureth the poor in secret.📜💬📚
15 Thou madest a way in the sea for thy horses, in the midst of many waters.📜💬📚
16 I heard, and my belly was troubled: at the voice my lips trembled. Let rottenness enter in my bones, and swarm under me. That I may rest in the day of tribulation: that I may ascend to our girded people.📜💬📚
Habakkuk Rejoices
17 For the fig-tree shall not flourish: & there shall be no spring in the vines. The work of the olive-tree shall deceive: and the fields shall not yield meat: the cattle shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls.📜💬📚
18 But I will joy in our Lord: and will rejoice in God my JESUS.📜💬📚
19 God our Lord is my strength: and he will make my feet as of the harts': and upon my high place he the conquerer will lead me singing in psalms.📜💬📚
