### Habakkuk’s Vision of the Divine Warrior
[[#Verse 01.]]Â This is a prayer of Habakkuk the prophet:
[[#Verse 02.]]Â Lord, I have heard the report of what you did;
I am awed, Lord, by what you accomplished.
In our time repeat those deeds;
in our time reveal them again.
But when you cause turmoil, remember to show us mercy!
[[#Verse 03.]] God comes from Teman,
the Holy One from Mount Paran. _Selah_.
His splendor has covered the skies,
the earth is full of his glory.
[[#Verse 04.]]Â His brightness will be as lightning;
a two-pronged lightning bolt flashing from his hand.
This is the outward display of his power.
[[#Verse 05.]] Plague will go before him;
pestilence will march right behind him.
[[#Verse 06.]] He took his battle position and shook the earth;
with a mere look he frightened the nations.
The ancient mountains disintegrated;
the primeval hills were flattened.
His are ancient roads.
[[#Verse 07.]]Â I saw the tents of Cushan overwhelmed by trouble;
the tent curtains of the land of Midian were shaking.
[[#Verse 08.]] Was the Lord mad at the rivers?
Were you angry with the rivers?
Were you enraged at the sea?
Such that you would climb into your horse-drawn chariots,
your victorious chariots?
[[#Verse 09.]]Â Your bow is ready for action;
you commission your arrows.
_Selah_.
You cause flash floods on the earth’s surface.
[[#Verse 10.]]Â When the mountains see you, they shake.
The torrential downpour sweeps through.
The great deep shouts out;
it lifts its hands high.
[[#Verse 11.]]Â The sun and moon stand still in their courses;
the flash of your arrows drives them away,
the bright light of your lightning-quick spear.
[[#Verse 12.]]Â You furiously stomp on the earth;
you angrily trample down the nations.
[[#Verse 13.]]Â You march out to deliver your people,
to deliver your special servant.
You strike the leader of the wicked nation,
laying him open from the lower body to the neck.Â
_Selah_.
[[#Verse 14.]] You pierce the heads of his warriors with a spear.
They storm forward to scatter us;
they shout with joy as if they were plundering the poor with no opposition.
[[#Verse 15.]]Â But you trample on the sea with your horses,
on the surging, raging waters.
### Habakkuk Declares His Confidence
[[#Verse 16.]]Â I listened and my stomach churned;
the sound made my lips quiver.
My frame went limp, as if my bones were decaying,
and I shook as I tried to walk.
I long for the day of distress
to come upon the people who attack us.
[[#Verse 17.]] When the fig tree does not bud,
and there are no grapes on the vines;
when the olive trees do not produce
and the fields yield no crops;
when the sheep disappear from the pen
and there are no cattle in the stalls—
[[#Verse 18.]] I will rejoice because of the Lord;
I will be happy because of the God who delivers me!
[[#Verse 19.]] The Sovereign Lord is my source of strength.
He gives me the agility of a deer;
he enables me to negotiate the rugged terrain.
