New Testament

Habakkuk 3:10-19 New Century Version (NCV)

10. The mountains saw you and shook with fear.The rushing water flowed.The sea made a loud noise,and its waves rose high.

11. The sun and moon stood still in the sky;they stopped when they saw the flash of your flying arrowsand the gleam of your shining spear.

12. In anger you marched on the earth;in anger you punished the nations.

13. You came out to save your people,to save your chosen one.You crushed the leader of the wicked onesand took everything he had, from head to toe.Selah

14. With the enemy’s own spear you stabbed the leader of his army.His soldiers rushed out like a storm to scatter us.They were happyas they were robbing the poor people in secret.

15. But you marched through the sea with your horses,stirring the great waters.

16. I hear these things, and my body trembles;my lips tremble when I hear the sound.My bones feel weak,and my legs shake.But I will wait patiently for the day of disasterthat will come to the people who attack us.

17. Fig trees may not grow figs,and there may be no grapes on the vines.There may be no olives growingand no food growing in the fields.There may be no sheep in the pensand no cattle in the barns.

18. But I will still be glad in the Lord;I will rejoice in God my Savior.

19. The Lord God is my strength.He makes me like a deer that does not stumbleso I can walk on the steep mountains.For the director of music. On my stringed instruments.
