Habakkuk 3
1 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth.
ORATIO HABACUC PROPHETAe PRO IGNORANTIIS.
2 O LORD, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; 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, misericordiae recordaberis.
3 God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. (Selah) His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise.
Deus ab Austro veniet, et sanctus de monte Pharan: Operuit caelos gloria eius: et laudis eius plena est terra.
4 And his brightness was as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand: 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 coals went forth at his feet.
ante faciem eius ibit mors. Egredietur diabolus ante pedes eius.
6 He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: his ways are everlasting.
Stetit, et mensus est terram. Aspexit, et dissolvit Gentes: et contriti sunt montes saeculi. Incurvati sunt colles mundi, ab itineribus aeternitatis eius.
7 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: and the curtains of the land of Midian trembled.
Pro iniquitate vidi tentoria Aethiopiae, turbabuntur pelles terrae Madian.
8 Was the LORD displeased against the rivers? was thy anger against the rivers? was thy wrath against the sea, that thou didst ride upon thy horses and thy chariots of salvation?
Numquid in fluminibus iratus es Domine? aut in fluminibus furor tuus? vel in mari indignatio tua? Qui ascendis super equos tuos: et quadrigae tuae salvatio.
9 Thy bow was made quite naked, according to the oaths of the tribes, even thy word. (Selah) Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers.
Suscitans suscitabis arcum tuum: iuramenta tribubus quae locutus es: Fluvios scindes terrae:
10 The mountains saw thee, and they trembled: the overflowing of the water passed by: the deep uttered his voice, and lifted up his hands on high.
viderunt te, et doluerunt montes: gurges aquarum transiit. Dedit abyssus vocem suam: altitudo manus suas levavit.
11 The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thy arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear.
Sol, et luna steterunt in habitaculo suo, in luce sagittarum tuarum, ibunt in splendore fulgurantis hastae tuae.
12 Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou didst thresh the heathen in anger.
In fremitu conculcabis terram: et in furore obstupefacies Gentes.
13 Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, even for salvation with thy anointed; thou didst wound the head out of the house of the wicked, by laying bare the foundation to the neck. (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 didst strike through with his staffs the head of his villages: they came out as a whirlwind to scatter me: their rejoicing was as to devour the poor secretly.
Maledixisti sceptris eius, capiti bellatorum eius, venientibus ut turbo ad dispergendum me. Exultatio eorum sicut eius, qui devorat pauperem in abscondito.
15 Thou didst walk through the sea with thy horses, through the mire of great waters.
Viam fecisti in mari equis tuis, in luto aquarum multarum.
16 When I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble: when he cometh up to the people, he will invade them with his troops.
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 Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour 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:
Ficus enim non florebit: et non erit germen in vineis. Mentietur opus olivae: et arva non afferent cibum. Abscindetur de ovili pecus: et non erit armentum in praesepibus.
18 Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
Ego autem in Domino gaudebo: et exultabo in Deo Iesu meo.
19 The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and he will make me to walk upon my high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.
Deus Dominus fortitudo mea: et ponet pedes meos quasi cervorum. Et super excelsa mea deducet me victor in psalmis canentem.
