HABAKUK.
Sun and Moon stood still in their circuit, As Your
arrows flew like the light
, And Your spear with lightning flash!
You marched through the land in fury, T
he Heathen thrashed in rage!
You came to save Your People;
With Your Messiah to win ;
-· Crushed the Chief of the House of Rebellion, Td
roon the base of his neck l
- Stabbed with their darts his squadrons,
Who to scatter rushed like a storm
, Who loved to devour the poor in secret!
Your horsemen marched on the Sea,
On the foaming watery waves!
I heard and my bowels shivered
, My lips were convulsed at the sound I
Andrweakness subdued my vigour,
And disturbance succeeded rest I
At the day the Tyrant advanced
To assail our Race with troops!
Yet, though the Fig-tree bloom not,-—· d
Anthe Vine give no increase
, Though the Olives’ producteceases,
And the Fields produce no food
, And the flocks be cut off from the fold,
And no bullock is seen in the stall,-
Yet I will rejoice in jehovah,
Rejoice in my Saviour, GOD!
The MIGHTY LORD will support me,
And makemy feet like a stag's,
And I will march on the Mountains
Qk Qsnlm.
To the Leader of My Singers.
