1 哈巴谷先知的祷告， 配激动的音调。
2 耶和华啊！ 我听见你的声音， 惧怕你的作为； 求你在这些年间复兴， 在这些年间彰显， 发怒的时候以怜悯为怀。
3 神由提幔而来， 圣者从巴兰山临到。（细拉）他的荣光弥漫穹苍， 赞美他的声音响彻寰宇。
4 他的辉煌如光， 手中四射光芒， 就在其中隐藏着能力。
5 瘟疫在他面前行走， 灾病在他脚下发出。
6 他站立， 震撼全地； 他观看， 惊散列国。永在的山崩裂， 长存的岭塌陷； 他的道路存到永远。
7 我看见古珊的帐棚遭难， 米甸地的帐幕惊惶。
8 耶和华啊！ 你骑上你的马， 乘驾得胜的战车， 难道是向江河发怒？是向海洋泄愤？
9 你的弓显露， 你的箭上弦。（原文意义不明， 这句参考RSV,JB等译本翻译）（细拉）你裂开大地为江河。
10 诸山见你而颤抖， 众水暴流而过； 深渊发声， 举手高扬。
11 日月停在本位， 你的箭发射如光； 你的矛闪烁辉耀。
12 你激愤践踏全地， 你怀怒打碎列国。
13 你出来救拔子民， 拯救你所膏立的。你击打恶人的房顶， 使根基全然显露（原文作"直到颈项"， 这是闪族语言惯用语， 意即"到了极点"﹝参赛8:8； 诗75:5﹞； 另一可能是"大石"、"磐石"的意思）。（细拉）
14 你用他的枪， 刺透他战士的头。他们来如暴风， 把我们驱散。他们的喜好， 是暗中吞噬穷人。
15 你乘马驰骋海上， 大水汹涌翻腾。
16 我一听见， 就全身发抖； 因这声音， 我嘴唇震颤。腐烂侵蚀我骨， 我在站立之地战兢。我静候灾难之日， 犯境的民上来。
17 无花果树纵不发芽， 葡萄树不结果， 橄榄树无所出， 田里无收成， 圈内没有羊， 棚里也没有牛，
18 我却要因耶和华欢喜， 以救我的 神为乐。
19 主耶和华是我的力量， 他使我的脚快如母鹿的蹄， 在高地上行走。交诗班长， 用丝弦的乐器伴奏。
1 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, set to Shigionoth.
2 O Jehovah, I have heard the report of thee, and am afraid:
O Jehovah, revive thy work in the midst of the years;
In the midst of the years make it 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 rays coming forth from his hand;
And there was the hiding of his power.
5 Before him went the pestilence,
And fiery bolts went forth at his feet.
6 He stood, and measured the earth;
He beheld, and drove asunder the nations;
And the eternal mountains were scattered;
The everlasting hills did bow;
His goings were as of old.
7 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction;
The curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.
8 Was Jehovah displeased with the rivers?
Was thine anger against the rivers,
Or thy wrath against the sea,
That thou didst ride upon thy horses,
Upon thy chariots of salvation?
9 Thy bow was made quite bare;
The oaths to the tribes were a sure word. [Selah.
Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers.
10 The mountains saw thee, and were afraid;
The tempest of waters passed by;
The deep uttered its voice,
And lifted up its hands on high.
11 The sun and moon stood still in their habitation,
At the light of thine arrows as they went,
At the shining of thy glittering spear.
12 Thou didst march though the land in indignation;
Thou didst thresh the nations in anger.
13 Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people,
For the salvation of thine anointed;
Thou woundest the head out of the house of the wicked man,
Laying bare the foundation even unto the neck. [Selah.
14 Thou didst pierce with his own staves the head of his warriors:
They came as a whirlwind to scatter me;
Their rejoicing was as to devour the poor secretly.
15 Thou didst tread the sea with thy horses,
The heap of mighty waters.
16 I heard, and my body trembled,
My lips quivered at the voice;
Rottenness entereth into my bones, and I tremble in my place;
Because I must wait quietly for the day of trouble,
For the coming up of the people that invadeth us.
17 For though the fig-tree shall not flourish,
Neither shall fruit be in the vines;
The labor of the olive shall fail,
And the fields shall yield no food;
The flock shall be cut off from the fold,
And there shall be no herd in the stalls:
18 Yet I will rejoice in Jehovah,
I will joy in the God of my salvation.
19 Jehovah, the Lord, is my strength;
And he maketh my feet like hinds’ feet,
And will make me to walk upon my high places.
