Daily Meditation
18 yet I will
rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
Today’s Reading
Habakkuk
Chapter 3
O Lord, I have heard
thy speech
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.
