Habakkuk 3:2-15 Modern English Version (MEV)

2. O Lord, I have heard the report of You,and was afraid;O Lord, revive Your workin the midst of the years!In the midst of these yearsmake them known;in wrath remember mercy.

3. God came from Teman,and the Holy One from Mount Paran. SelahHis glory covered the heavens,and the earth was full of His praise.

4. His brightness was like the light;rays flashed from His hand,and there His power was hidden.

5. Pestilence went out before Him,and plague followed His feet.

6. He stood and measured the earth;He looked and shook the nations.The eternal mountains were scattered,the perpetual hills bowed.His ways are everlasting.

7. I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction;the curtains of the land of Midian trembled.

8. Were you displeased with the rivers, O Lord?Was Your anger against the rivers,and was Your wrath against the seawhen You rode on Your horses,on Your chariots of salvation?

9. You made bare Your bow;oaths were the arrows at Your command.SelahYou divided the earth with the rivers.

10. The mountains saw You and trembled;the overflowing water passed by.The deep lifted its voice,and lifted its hands on high.

11. The sun and moon stood still in their places;at the light of Your arrows they went,at the flash of Your glittering spear.

12. You marched throughout the earth in indignation;You threshed the nations in anger.

13. You went forth to deliver Your people,to deliver Your anointed one.You wounded the head of the house of the wicked,laying him bare from head to foot.Selah

14. You pierced with his own arrowsthe leaders of his villages.They came like a whirlwind to scatter me;their rejoicing was like devouring the poor in secret.

15. You trampled the sea with Your horses,through the wakes of great waters.
