申言者哈巴谷的祷告，调用流离歌。
A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet in shigionoth.

耶和华啊，我听见你的名声，就惧怕。耶和华啊，求你在这些年间复兴你的工作，在这些年间使你的工作显明出来，在发怒的时候以怜恤为念。
O Jehovah, I have heard the report concerning You and am afraid. / O Jehovah, revive Your work / In the midst of the years; / In the midst of the years make it known; / In wrath remember compassion.

神从提幔而来，圣者从巴兰山临到。〔细拉〕祂的荣美遮蔽诸天，地上充满对祂的赞美。
God comes from Teman, / Even the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah / His splendor covers the heavens, / And the earth is filled with His praise.

祂的辉煌如光：从祂手里射出光线，在其中藏着祂的能力。
And His brightness is like the light: / Rays come forth from His hand, / And the hiding of His power is there.

在祂前面有瘟疫流行，在祂脚下有电光发出。
Before Him goes pestilence, / And the fire bolt comes forth at His feet.

祂站立，量了大地；祂观看，惊散万民；永久的山岭崩裂，长存的冈陵塌陷；祂所行的永远不变。
He stands and measures the earth; / He looks and startles the nations; / And the ancient mountains are shattered into dust, / And the everlasting hills sink down; / His goings are eternal.

我见古珊的帐棚遭难，米甸地的幔子战兢。
I see the tents of Cushan / Under affliction; / The tent curtains of the land of Midian tremble.

耶和华啊，你乘在马上，坐在拯救的战车上，岂是向江河，向江河发怒，向洋海泄愤么？
Is it against the rivers, O Jehovah, / Against the rivers that Your anger is kindled? / Is Your overflowing wrath against the sea / That You ride upon Your horses, / Upon Your chariots of salvation?

你的弓全然显露，你按你的话起誓，伸出管教的杖。〔细拉〕你以江河分开大地。
Your bow is bared utterly; / The rods of discipline are sworn according to Your word. Selah / You cleave the earth with rivers.

山岭见你，无不战惧；大水泛滥过去，深渊发声，汹涌翻腾。
The mountains see You; they writhe; / The tempest of water passes by; / The deep utters its voice, / It lifts its hands high.

因你的箭射出发光，你的枪闪出光耀，日月都在居高的本位停住。
The sun and the moon stand still in their high abode / At the light of Your arrows going forth, / At the brightness of Your glittering spear.

你在恼恨中通行大地，在怒气里踹踏列国。
In wrath You march through the earth, / In anger You thresh the nations.

你出来要拯救你的百姓，拯救你的受膏者，打破恶人家长的头，露出他的脚，直到颈项。〔细拉〕
You go forth for the salvation of Your people, / For the salvation of Your anointed one, / You strike the head from the house of the wicked one, / Laying bare the foundation, even to the neck. Selah

你用敌人的戈矛，刺透他战士的头。他们来如旋风，要将我们分散；他们因暗中吞吃贫民而欢乐。
You pierce, with his own staves, / The heads of his warriors. / They come out like a whirlwind to scatter me; / Their exultation is as if to devour the poor in secret.

你乘马践踏海，践踏汹涌的大水。
You tread the sea with Your horses, / The heap of mighty waters.

我一听见，身体就战兢；因这声音，我的嘴唇发颤。我的骨中朽烂，我在所立之处战兢，因我必须安静等候急难的日子临到，进攻的人上来攻击百姓。
I heard and my body trembled; / My lips quivered at the sound. / Rottenness entered my bones, / And I tremble in my place, / Because I must wait quietly for the day of distress, / When he who attacks us comes up against the people.

虽然无花果树不发旺，葡萄树不结果，橄榄树也不效力，田地不出粮食，圈中绝了羊，棚内也没有牛；
For the fig tree will not sprout, / And there will be no yield on the vines; / The labor on the olive tree will fail, / And the fields will make no food; / The flock will be cut off from the fold, / And there will be no herd in the stalls.

然而我要因耶和华欢欣，因救我的神喜乐。
Yet I will exult in Jehovah; / I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.

主耶和华是我的力量；祂使我的脚快如母鹿的蹄，又使我稳行在高处。这歌交与歌咏长，用丝弦的乐器。
Jehovah the Lord is my strength; / And He makes my feet like hinds' feet / And will cause me to walk on my high places. / For the choir director, with my stringed instruments.
