Abacuc 3

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Oratio Habacuc prophetae. Secundum melodiam lamentationum.	1 A PRAYER OF HABACUC THE PROPHET FOR IGNORANCES.
2 Domine, audivi auditionem tuam et timui, Domine, opus tuum. In medio annorum vivifica illud, in medio annorum notum facies. Cum iratus fueris, misericordiae recordaberis.	2 O Lord, I have heard thy hearing, and was afraid. O Lord, thy work, in the midst of the years bring it to life: In the midst of the years thou shalt make it known: when thou art angry, thou wilt remember mercy.
3 Deus a Theman veniet, et Sanctus de monte Pharan. — Selah. Operit caelos gloria eius, et laudis eius plena est terra.	3 God will come from the south, and the holy one from mount Pharan: His glory covered the heavens, and the earth is full of his praise.
4 Splendor eius ut lux erit, radii ex manibus eius: ibi abscondita est fortitudo eius.	4 His brightness shall be as the light; horns are in his hands: There is his strength hid:
5 Ante faciem eius ibit mors, et egredietur pestis post pedes eius.	5 Death shall go before his face. And the devil shall go forth before his feet.
6 Stetit et concussit terram, aspexit et dissolvit gentes. Et contriti sunt montes saeculi, incurvati sunt colles antiqui ab itineribus aeternitatis eius.	6 He stood and measured the earth. He beheld, and melted the nations: and the ancient mountains were crushed to pieces. The hills of the world were bowed down by the journeys of his eternity.
7 In afflictione vidi tentoria Chusan; turbantur pelles terrae Madian.	7 I saw the tents of Ethiopia for their iniquity, the curtains of the land of Madian shall be troubled.
8 Numquid in fluminibus iratus es, Domine, aut in fluminibus furor tuus vel in mari indignatio tua? Quia ascendes super equos tuos, quadrigas tuas victrices.	8 Wast thou angry, O Lord, with the rivers? or was thy wrath upon the rivers? or thy indignation in the sea? Who will ride upon thy horses: and thy chariots are salvation.
9 Suscitans suscitabis arcum tuum, sagittis replevisti pharetram tuam. — Selah. In fluvios scindes terram,	9 Thou wilt surely take up thy bow: according to the oaths which thou hast spoken to the tribes. Thou wilt divide the rivers of the earth.
10 viderunt te et doluerunt montes. Effuderunt aquas nubes, dedit abyssus vocem suam, in altum levavit manus suas.	10 The mountains saw thee, and were grieved: the great body of waters passed away. The deep put forth its voice: the deep lifted up its hands.
11 Sol et luna steterunt in habitaculo suo, prae luce sagittarum tuarum discedunt, prae splendore fulgurantis hastae tuae.	11 The sun and the moon stood still in their habitation, in the light of thy arrows, they shall go in the brightness of thy glittering spear.
12 In fremitu calcabis terram, in furore conteres gentes.	12 In thy anger thou wilt tread the earth under foot: in thy wrath thou wilt astonish the nations.
13 Egressus es in salutem populi tui, in salutem cum christo tuo. Percussisti caput de domo impii, denudasti fundamentum usque ad petram. — Selah.	13 Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people: for salvation with thy Christ. Thou struckest the head of the house of the wicked: thou hast laid bare his foundation even to the neck.
14 Confodisti iaculis tuis caput bellatorum eius, venientium ut turbo ad dispergendum me; exsultatio eorum, sicut eius, qui devorat pauperem in abscondito.	14 Thou hast cursed his sceptres, the head of his warriors, them that came out as a whirlwind to scatter me. Their joy was like that of him that devoureth the poor man in secret.
15 Viamfecisti in mari equis tuis, in luto aquarum multarum.	15 Thou madest a way in the sea for thy horses, in the mud of many waters.
16 Audivi, et conturbatus est venter meus, ad vocem contremuerunt labia mea. Ingreditur putredo in ossibus meis, et subterme vacillant gressus mei. Conquiescam in die tribulationis, ut ascendat super populum, qui invadit nos.	16 I have heard and my bowels were troubled: my lips trembled at the voice. Let rottenness enter into my bones, and swarm under me. That I may rest in the day of tribulation: that I may go up to our people that are girded.
17 Ficus enim non florebit, et non erit fructus in vineis; mentietur opus olivae, et arva non afferent cibum; abscissum est de ovili pecus, et non est armentum in praesepibus.	17 For the fig tree shall not blossom: and there shall be no spring in the vines. The labour of the olive tree 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 Ego autem in Domino gaudebo et exsultabo in Deo salvatore meo.	18 But I will rejoice in the Lord: and I will joy in God my Jesus.
19 Dominus Deus fortitudo mea et ponet pedes meos quasi cervorum et super excelsa mea deducet me. Magistro chori. Ad sonitum chordarum.	19 The Lord God is my strength: and he will make my feet like the feet of harts: and he the conqueror will lead me upon my high places singing psalms.
