3God came from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise. Selah
4His brightness was like the light, rays flashed from his hand; and there he veiled his power.
5Before him went pestilence, and plague followed close behind.
6He stood and measured the earth; he looked and shook the nations; then the eternal mountains were scattered, the everlasting hills sank low. His ways were as of old.
7I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction; the curtains of the land of Mid'ian did tremble.
8Was thy wrath against the rivers, O LORD? Was thy anger against the rivers, or thy indignation against the sea, when thou didst ride upon thy horses, upon thy chariot of victory?
9Thou didst strip the sheath from thy bow, and put the arrows to the string. Selah Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers.
10The mountains saw thee, and writhed; the raging waters swept on; the deep gave forth its voice, it lifted its hands on high.
11The sun and moon stood still in their habitation at the light of thine arrows as they sped, at the flash of thy glittering spear.
12Thou didst bestride the earth in fury, thou didst trample the nations in anger.
Habakkuk 3:3-12 (RSV)
