1 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, set to wild, enthusiastic, and triumphal music.

ORACION de Habacuc profeta, sobre Sigionoth.

2 O Lord, I have heard the report of You and was afraid. O Lord, revive Your work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known! In wrath remember love, pity, and mercy.

Oh Jehová, oído he tu palabra, y temí: Oh Jehová, aviva tu obra en medio de los tiempos, En medio de los tiempos hazla conocer; En la ira acuérdate de la misericordia.

3 G od came from Teman and the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah! His glory covered the heavens and the earth was full of His praise.

Dios vendrá de Temán, Y el Santo del monte de Parán, (Selah.) Su gloria cubrió los cielos, Y la tierra se llenó de su alabanza.

4 A nd His brightness was like the sunlight; rays streamed from His hand, and there was the hiding place of His power.

Y el resplandor fué como la luz; Rayos brillantes salían de su mano; Y allí estaba escondida su fortaleza.

5 B efore Him went the pestilence, and burning plague followed His feet.

Delante de su rostro iba mortandad, Y á sus pies salían carbones encendidos.

6 H e stood and measured the earth; He looked and shook the nations, and the eternal mountains were scattered and the perpetual hills bowed low. His ways are everlasting and His goings are of old.

Paróse, y midió la tierra: Miró, é hizo temblar las gentes; Y los montes antiguos fueron desmenuzados, Los collados antiguos se humillaron á él. Sus caminos son eternos.

7 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction; the curtains of the land of Midian trembled.

He visto las tiendas de Cushán en aflicción; Las tiendas de la tierra de Madián temblaron.

8 W ere You displeased with the rivers, O Lord? Or was Your anger against the rivers ? Was Your wrath against the Sea, that You rode upon Your horses and Your chariots of victory and deliverance?

¿Airóse Jehová contra los ríos? ¿Contra los ríos fué tu enojo? ¿Tu ira contra la mar, Cuando subiste sobre tus caballos, Y sobre tus carros de salud?

9 Y our bow was made quite bare; sworn to the tribes by Your sure word were the rods of chastisement, scourges, and calamities. Selah! With rivers You cleaved the earth.

Descubrióse enteramente tu arco, Los juramentos á las tribus, palabra segura. (Selah.) Hendiste la tierra con ríos.

10 T he mountains saw You; they trembled and writhed. The overflowing of the water passed by; the deep uttered its voice and lifted its hands on high.

Viéronte, y tuvieron temor los montes: Pasó la inundación de las aguas: El abismo dió su voz, La hondura alzó sus manos.

11 T he sun and moon stood back in their habitation at the light of Your arrows as they sped, at the flash of Your glittering spear.

El sol y la luna se pararon en su estancia: A la luz de tus saetas anduvieron, Y al resplandor de tu fulgente lanza.

12 Y ou marched through the land in indignation; You trampled and threshed the nations in anger.

Con ira hollaste la tierra, Con furor trillaste las gentes.

13 Y ou went forth and have come for the salvation of Your people, for the deliverance and victory of Your anointed; You smote the head of the house of the wicked, laying bare the foundation even to the neck. Selah!

Saliste para salvar tu pueblo, Para salvar con tu ungido. Traspasaste la cabeza de la casa del impío, Desnudando el cimiento hasta el cuello. (Selah.)

14 Y ou pierced with his own arrows the head of hordes; they came out as a whirlwind to scatter me, rejoicing as if to devour the poor secretly.

Horadaste con sus báculos las cabezas de sus villas, Que como tempestad acometieron para derramarme: Su orgullo era como para devorar al pobre encubiertamente.

15 Y ou have trodden the sea with Your horses, the heap of great and surging waters.

Hiciste camino en la mar á tu caballos, Por montón de grandes aguas.

16 I heard and my trembled; my lips quivered at the sound. Rottenness enters into my bones and under me; I tremble. I will wait quietly for the day of trouble and distress when there shall come up against people him who is about to invade and oppress them.

Oí, y tembló mi vientre; A la voz se batieron mis labios; Pudrición se entró en mis huesos, y en mi asiento me estremecí; Si bien estaré quieto en el día de la angustia, Cuando suba al pueblo el que lo invadirá con sus tropas.

17 T hough the fig tree does not blossom and there is no fruit on the vines, the product of the olive fails and the fields yield no food, though the flock is cut off from the fold and there are no cattle in the stalls,

Aunque la higuera no florecerá, Ni en las vides habrá frutos; Mentirá la obra de la oliva, Y los labrados no darán mantenimiento. Y las ovejas serán quitadas de la majada, Y no habrá vacas en los corrales;

18 Y et I will rejoice in the Lord; I will exult in the God of my salvation!

Con todo yo me alegraré en Jehová, Y me gozaré en el Dios de mi salud.

19 T he Lord God is my Strength, my personal bravery, and my invincible army; He makes my feet like hinds’ feet and will make me to walk and make progress upon my high places! For the Chief Musician; with my stringed instruments.

Jehová el Señor es mi fortaleza, El cual pondrá mis pies como de ciervas, Y me hará andar sobre mis alturas
