Habakkuk 3:3-10

^{Tools
3}

God comes from Teman,
the Holy One from Mount Paran.^(A)Selah
His splendor covers the heavens,
and the earth is full of His praise.^(B)

^{Tools
4}

His brilliance is like light;
rays are flashing from His hand.
This is where His power is hidden.

^{Tools
5}

Plague goes before Him,
and pestilence follows in His steps.

^{Tools
6}

He stands and shakes^(a) the earth;
He looks and startles the nations.
The age-old mountains break apart;
the ancient hills sink down.
His pathways are ancient.

^{Tools
7}

I see the tents of Cushan^(b) in distress;
the tent curtains of the land of Midian tremble.

^{Tools
8}

Are You angry at the rivers, Lord?
Is Your wrath against the rivers?
Or is Your rage against the sea
when You ride on Your horses,
Your victorious chariot?

^{Tools
9}

You took the sheath from Your bow;
the arrows are ready^(c) to be used with an oath.^(d)^(C)Selah
You split the earth with rivers.

^{Tools
10}

The mountains see You and shudder;^(D)
a downpour of water sweeps by.
The deep roars with its voice^(E)
and lifts its waves^(e) high.
