1 O RACION de Habacuc profeta, sobre Sigionoth.

Shigionoth tells of this prayer of Habakkuk, the man of God.

2 O h 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.

O Lord, I have heard of what You have done, and I am filled with fear. O Lord, do again in our times the great things which You have done before. Remember to show loving-kindness, even when You are angry.

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

God comes from Teman. The Holy One comes from Mount Paran. His shining-greatness covers the heavens, and the earth is full of His praise.

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

He is as bright as the sun. He has light shining from His hand, where His power is hidden.

5 D elante de su rostro iba mortandad, Y á sus pies salían carbones encendidos.

Disease goes before Him, and much trouble comes after Him.

6 P aróse, 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.

He stood and looked over the earth. He looked and shook the nations. The lasting mountains were broken to pieces, and the old hills fell down. His ways last forever.

7 H e visto las tiendas de Cushán en aflicción; Las tiendas de la tierra de Madián temblaron.

I saw the tents of Cushan in trouble. The tent curtains of the land of Midian were shaking.

8 ¿ 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?

Were You angry with the rivers, O Lord? Was Your anger against the rivers? Or were You angry with the sea? You rode on Your horses. You rode on Your war-wagons saving people.

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

You took the covering off Your bow and put the arrows to the string. You divided the earth with rivers.

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

The mountains saw You and shook. The flood of waters flowed by. The sea made its noise and its waves rose high.

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

The sun and moon stood still in the heavens at the light of Your arrows, at the shining of Your spear.

12 C on ira hollaste la tierra, Con furor trillaste las gentes.

You walked over the earth in Your anger. In anger You crushed the nations under foot.

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

You went to save Your people, to save Your chosen ones. You crushed the leader of the land of the sinful and laid him open from thighs to neck.

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

With his own spear You cut through the head of his soldiers. They came like a storm to send us everywhere, finding joy as if they were destroying in secret those who had it very hard.

15 H iciste camino en la mar á tu caballos, Por montón de grandes aguas.

You stepped on the sea with Your horses, on the waves of many waters.

16 O í, 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.

I heard and my body shook. My lips shook at the sound. My bones began to waste away and my legs shook. Yet I will be quiet and wait for the day of trouble to come upon the people who fight against us.

17 A unque 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;

Even if the fig tree does not grow figs and there is no fruit on the vines, even if the olives do not grow and the fields give no food, even if there are no sheep within the fence and no cattle in the cattle-building,

18 C on todo yo me alegraré en Jehová, Y me gozaré en el Dios de mi salud.

yet I will have joy in the Lord. I will be glad in the God Who saves me.

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

The Lord God is my strength. He has made my feet like the feet of a deer, and He makes me walk on high places. This is for the song leader, on my different kinds of harps.
