Habakkuk — 3
Habakkuk’s Prayer
1 The prayer of Habakkuk the Nabym.
2 O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, I have heard the news about you, I am amazed, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, at the powerful things you did in the past, now I pray that you will do great things in our time. Please make these things happen in our own days, but in your anger remember to show mercy to us. I pray.
3 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH is coming from Taman, the Qadash One is coming from Mount Paran, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH's Kabad covers the Shamaym, and the Yadah of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH fills the Arath!
4 Rays of light shine from the hand of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, a bright, shining light, there is such power hiding in that hand.
5 The sickness went before Him, and the destroyer followed behind Him.
6 He stood and judged the Arath, he looked at the people of all the nations, and they shook with fear, for many years the mountains stood strong, but those mountains fell to pieces, those old hills fell down, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH has always been able to do that.
7 I saw that the cities of Cushan were in trouble and that the houses of Midian trembled with fear.
8 O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, were you angry at the rivers? Were you angry at the streams? Were you angry at the sea? Were you angry when you rode your horses and chariots to victory?
9 Even then you showed your rainbow, It was proof of your agreement with the families of the Arath, and the dry land split the rivers.
10 The mountains saw You and shook, the water flowed off the land, the water from the sea made a loud noise as it lost its power over the land.
11 The sun and the moon lost their brightness. They stopped shining when they saw your bright flashes of lightning, that lightning was like spears and arrows shooting through the air.
12 In anger you walked on the Arath and punished the nations.
13 You came to save your people and to lead your chosen king to victory, You killed the leader in every evil family, from the least important person to the most important in the land.
14 You used Musha’s walking stick to stop the enemy soldiers, those soldiers came like a powerful storm to fight against us, they thought they could defeat us easily, as robbing the poor in secret.
15 But you marched your horses through the deep water, stirring up the mud.
16 My whole body shook when I heard the story, My lips trembled, I felt weak deep down in my bones and stood there shaking, but I will wait patiently for destruction to come to those who attack us.
Always Rejoice in YAHUAH
17 Figs might not grow on the fig trees, and grapes might not grow on the vines. Olives might not grow on the olive trees, and food might not grow in the fields, there might not be any sheep in the pens or cattle in the barns.
18 But I will still be glad in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH and I will rejoice in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH my Savior.
19 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH is my strength, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH will help me run fast like a deer and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH will lead me safely on the mountains.
