New Testament

Habakkuk 3:11-16 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

11. Sun and moon stood in their places; They went away at the light of Your arrows, At the radiance of Your gleaming spear.

12. In indignation You marched through the earth; In anger You trampled the nations.

13. You went forth for the salvation of Your people, For the salvation of Your anointed. You struck the head of the house of the evil To lay him open from thigh to neck. Selah.

14. You pierced with his own spears The head of his throngs. They stormed in to scatter us; Their exultation was like those Who devour the oppressed in secret.

15. You trampled on the sea with Your horses, On the surge of many waters.

16. I heard and my inward parts trembled, At the sound my lips quivered. Decay enters my bones, And in my place I tremble. Because I must wait quietly for the day of distress, For the people to arise who will invade us.
