Prophetia Habacuc

Habacuc, chapter 3, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 3 Vulgate

   1 Oratio Habacuc prophetae. Secundum melodiam lamentationum.
   2 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 Deus a Theman veniet, et Sanctus de monte Pharan. - Selah. Operit caelos gloria eius, et laudis eius plena est terra.
   4 Splendor eius ut lux erit, radii ex manibus eius: ibi abscondita est fortitudo eius.
   5 Ante faciem eius ibit mors, et egredietur pestis post pedes eius.
   6 Stetit et concussit terram, aspexit et dissolvit gentes. Et contriti sunt montes saeculi, incurvati sunt colles antiqui ab itineribus aeternitatis eius.
   7 In afflictione vidi tentoria Chusan; turbantur pelles terrae Madian.
   8 Numquid in fluminibus iratus es, Domine, aut in fluminibus furor tuus vel in mari indignatio tua? Quia ascendes super equos tuos, quadrigas tuas victrices.
   9 Suscitans suscitabis arcum tuum, sagittis replevisti pharetram tuam. - Selah. In fluvios scindes terram,
   10 viderunt te et doluerunt montes. Effuderunt aquas nubes, dedit abyssus vocem suam, in altum levavit manus suas.
   11 Sol et luna steterunt in habitaculo suo, prae luce sagittarum tuarum discedunt, prae splendore fulgurantis hastae tuae.
   12 In fremitu calcabis terram, in furore conteres gentes.
   13 Egressus es in salutem populi tui, in salutem cum christo tuo. Percussisti caput de domo impii, denudasti fundamentum usque ad petram. - Selah.
   14 Confodisti iaculis tuis caput bellatorum eius, venientium ut turbo ad dispergendum me; exsultatio eorum, sicut eius, qui devorat pauperem in abscondito.
   15 Viam fecisti in mari equis tuis, in luto aquarum multarum.
   16 Audivi, et conturbatus est venter meus, ad vocem contremuerunt labia mea. Ingreditur putredo in ossibus meis, et subter me vacillant gressus mei. Conquiescam in die tribulationis, ut ascendat super populum, qui invadit nos.
   17 Ficus enim non florebit, et non erit fructus in vineis; mentietur opus olivae, et arva non afferent cibum; abscissum est de ovili pecus, et non est armentum in praesepibus.
   18 Ego autem in Domino gaudebo et exsultabo in Deo salvatore meo.
   19 Dominus Deus fortitudo mea et ponet pedes meos quasi cervorum et super excelsa mea deducet me. Magistro chori. Ad sonitum chordarum.

King James Version

   1 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth.
   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.
   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.
   4 And his brightness was as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power.
   5 Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet.
   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.
   7 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: and the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.
   8 Was the LORD displeased against the rivers? was thine anger against the rivers? was thy wrath against the sea, that thou didst ride upon thine horses and thy chariots of salvation?
   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.
   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.
   11 The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear.
   12 Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou didst thresh the heathen in anger.
   13 Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, even for salvation with thine anointed; thou woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked, by discovering the foundation unto the neck. Selah.
   14 Thou didst strike through with his staves the head of his villages: they came out as a whirlwind to scatter me: their rejoicing was as to devour the poor secretly.
   15 Thou didst walk through the sea with thine horses, through the heap of great waters.
   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 unto the people, he will invade them with his troops.
   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 meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:
   18 Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
   19 The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.
