Habakkuk 3

Trust in a Time of Trouble

17 Fig trees may no longer bloom,

or vineyards produce grapes;

olive trees may be fruitless,

and harvest time a failure;

sheep pens may be empty,

and cattle stalls vacant—

18 but I will still celebrate

because the Lord God

is my Savior.

19 *2 S 22.34;Ps 18.33.The Lord gives me strength.

He makes my feet as sure

as those of a deer,

and he helps me stand

on the mountains.*3.19 stand on the mountains: One possible meaning for the difficult Hebrew text.

To the music director:

Use stringed instruments.
