Habakkuk 3
1 A prayer of Habakkuk the Prophet for the ignorances.
ORATIO HABACUC PROPHETÆ PRO IGNORANTIIS.
2 O Lord, I haue heard thy voyce, and was afraide: O Lord, reuiue thy worke in the mids of the people, in the mids of the yeeres make it knowen: in wrath remember mercy.
Domine audivi auditionem tuam, et timui. Domine opus tuum in medio annorum vivifica illud: In medio annorum notum facies: cum iratus fueris, misericordiæ recordaberis.
3 God commeth from Teman, and the holy one from mount Paran, (Selah) His glory couereth the heauens, and the earth is full of his prayse,
Deus ab Austro veniet, et sanctus de monte Pharan: Operuit cælos gloria eius: et laudis eius plena est terra.
4 And his brightnes was as the light: he had hornes comming out of his hands, and there was the hiding of his power.
Splendor eius ut lux erit: cornua in manibus eius: Ibi abscondita est fortitudo eius:
5 Before him went the pestilence, and burning coales went forth before his feete.
ante faciem eius ibit mors. Et egredietur diabolus ante pedes eius.
6 He stoode and measured the earth: he behelde and dissolued the nations and the euerlasting mountaines were broken, and the ancient hilles did bowe: his wayes are euerlasting.
Stetit, et mensus est terram. Aspexit, et dissolvit Gentes: et contriti sunt montes sæculi. Incurvati sunt colles mundi, ab itineribus æterntatis eius.
7 For his iniquitie I sawe the tentes of Cushan, and the curtaines of the land of Midian did tremble.
Pro iniquitate vidi tentoria Æthiopiæ, turbabuntur pelles terræ Madian.
8 Was the Lord angry against the riuers? or was thine anger against the floods? or was thy wrath against the sea, that thou diddest ride vpon thine horses? thy charets brought saluation.
Numquid in fluminibus iratus es Domine? aut in fluminibus furor tuus? vel in mari indignatio tua? Qui ascendes super equos tuos: et quadrigæ tuæ salvatio.
9 Thy bowe was manifestly reueiled, and the othes of the tribes were a sure worde, (Selah) thou diddest cleaue the earth with riuers.
Suscitans suscitabis arcum tuum: iuramenta tribubus quæ locutus es: Fluvios scindes terræ:
10 The mountaines sawe thee, and they trembled: the streame of the water passed by: the deepe made a noyse, and lift vp his hand on hie.
viderunt te, et doluerunt montes: gurges aquarum transiit. Dedit abyssus vocem suam: altitudo manus suas levavit.
11 The sunne and moone stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrowes they went, and at the bright shining of thy speares.
Sol, et luna steterunt in habitaculo suo, in luce sagittarum tuarum, ibunt in splendore fulgurantis hastæ tuæ.
12 Thou trodest downe the land in anger, and didest thresh the heathen in displeasure.
In fremitu conculcabis terram: in furore obstupefacies Gentes.
13 Thou wentest foorth for the saluation of thy people, euen for saluation with thine Anointed: thou hast wounded the head of the house of the wicked, and discoueredst the foundations vnto the necke, (Selah)
Egressus es in salutem populi tui: in salutem cum Christo tuo: Percussisti caput de domo impii: denudasti fundamentum eius usque ad collum.
14 Thou didest strike thorowe with his owne staues the heades of his villages: they came out as a whirle winde to scatter me: their reioycing was as to deuoure the poore secretly.
Maledixisti sceptris eius, capiti bellatorum eius, venientibus ut turbo ad dispergendum me. Exultatio eorum sicut eius, qui devorat pauperem in abscondito.
15 Thou didest walke in the sea with thine horses vpon the heape of great waters.
Viam fecisti in mari equis tuis, in luto aquarum multarum.
16 When I heard, my bellie trembled: my lippes shooke at the voyce: rottennesse entred into my bones, and I trembled in my selfe, that I might rest in the day of trouble: for whe he commeth vp vnto the people, he shall destroy them.
Audivi, et conturbatus est venter meus: a voce contremuerunt labia mea. Ingrediatur putredo in ossibus meis, et subter me scateat. Ut requiescam in die tribulationis: ut ascendam ad populum accinctum nostrum.
17 For the figtree shall not flourish, neither shall fruite be in the vines: the labour of the oliue shall faile, and the fieldes shall yeelde no meate: the sheepe shalbe cut off from the folde, and there shalbe no bullocke in the stalles.
Ficus enim non florebit: et non erit germen in vineis. Mentietur opus olivæ: et arva non afferent cibum. Abscindetur de ovili pecus: et non erit armentum in præsepibus.
18 But I will reioyce in the Lord: I will ioy in the God of my saluation.
Ego autem in Domino gaudebo: et exultabo in Deo Iesu meo.
19 The Lord God is my strength: hee will make my feete like hindes feete, and he will make me to walke vpon mine hie places. To the chiefe singer on Neginothai.
Deus Dominus fortitudo mea: et ponet pedes meos quasi cervorum. Et super excelsa mea deducet me victor in psalmis canentem.
