Old Testament

New Testament

Habakkuk 3:11-19 American Standard Version (ASV)

11. The sun and moon stood still in their habitation, At the light of thine arrows as they went, At the shining of thy glittering spear.

12. Thou didst march though the land in indignation; Thou didst thresh the nations in anger.

13. Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, For the salvation of thine anointed; Thou woundest the head out of the house of the wicked man, Laying bare the foundation even unto the neck.

14. Thou didst pierce with his own staves the head of his warriors: They came as a whirlwind to scatter me; Their rejoicing was as to devour the poor secretly.

15. Thou didst tread the sea with thy horses, The heap of mighty waters.

16. I heard, and my body trembled, My lips quivered at the voice; Rottenness entereth into my bones, and I tremble in my place; Because I must wait quietly for the day of trouble, For the coming up of the people that invadeth us.

17. For though the fig-tree shall not flourish, Neither shall fruit be in the vines; The labor of the olive shall fail, And the fields shall yield no food; The flock shall be cut off from the fold, And there shall be no herd in the stalls:

18. Yet I will rejoice in Jehovah, I will joy in the God of my salvation.

19. Jehovah, the Lord, is my strength; And he maketh my feet like hinds’ feet, And will make me to walk upon my high places.
