A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, according to Shigionoth.
|
|
||||||
O LORD, I have heard the report of you, and your work, O LORD, do I fear. In the midst of the years revive it; in the midst of the years make it known; in wrath remember mercy.
|
|
||||||
God came from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. <i>Selah</i> His splendor covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise.
|
|
||||||
His brightness was like the light; rays flashed from his hand; and there he veiled his power.
|
|
||||||
Before him went pestilence, and plague followed at his heels.
|
|
||||||
He stood and measured the earth; he looked and shook the nations; then the eternal mountains were scattered; the everlasting hills sank low. His were the everlasting ways.
|
|
||||||
I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction; the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.
|
|
||||||
Was your wrath against the rivers, O LORD? Was your anger against the rivers, or your indignation against the sea, when you rode on your horses, on your chariot of salvation?
|
|
||||||
You stripped the sheath from your bow, calling for many arrows. <i>Selah</i> You split the earth with rivers.
|
|
||||||
The mountains saw you and writhed; the raging waters swept on; the deep gave forth its voice; it lifted its hands on high.
|
|
||||||
The sun and moon stood still in their place at the light of your arrows as they sped, at the flash of your glittering spear.
|
|
||||||
You marched through the earth in fury; you threshed the nations in anger.
|
|
||||||
You went out for the salvation of your people, for the salvation of your anointed. You crushed the head of the house of the wicked, laying him bare from thigh to neck. <i>Selah</i>
|
|
||||||
You pierced with his own arrows the heads of his warriors, who came like a whirlwind to scatter me, rejoicing as if to devour the poor in secret.
|
|
||||||
You trampled the sea with your horses, the surging of mighty waters.
|
|
||||||
I hear, and my body trembles; my lips quiver at the sound; rottenness enters into my bones; my legs tremble beneath me. Yet I will quietly wait for the day of trouble to come upon people who invade us.
|
|
||||||
Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls,
|
|
||||||
yet I will rejoice in the LORD; I will take joy in the God of my salvation.
|
|
||||||
GOD, the Lord, is my strength; he makes my feet like the deer's; he makes me tread on my high places. To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments.

Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is no trouble to me and is safe for you.

Look out for the dogs, look out for the evildoers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh.
|
|
||||||
For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh —
|
|
||||||
though I myself have reason for confidence in the flesh also. If anyone else thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more:
|
|
||||||
circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee;
|
|
||||||
as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law, blameless.
|
|
||||||
But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ.
|
|
||||||
Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ
|
|
||||||
and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith —
|
|
||||||
that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,
|
|
||||||
that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.
|
|
||||||
Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own.
|
|
||||||
Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,
|
|
||||||
I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
|
|
||||||
Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal that also to you.
|
|
||||||
Only let us hold true to what we have attained.
|
|
||||||
Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk according to the example you have in us.
|
|
||||||
For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ.
|
|
||||||
Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things.
|
|
||||||
But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
|
|
||||||
who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.

Therefore when we could bear it no longer, we were willing to be left behind at Athens alone,
|
|
||||||
and we sent Timothy, our brother and God's coworker in the gospel of Christ, to establish and exhort you in your faith,
|
|
||||||
that no one be moved by these afflictions. For you yourselves know that we are destined for this.
|
|
||||||
For when we were with you, we kept telling you beforehand that we were to suffer affliction, just as it has come to pass, and just as you know.
|
|
||||||
For this reason, when I could bear it no longer, I sent to learn about your faith, for fear that somehow the tempter had tempted you and our labor would be in vain.
|
|
||||||
But now that Timothy has come to us from you, and has brought us the good news of your faith and love and reported that you always remember us kindly and long to see us, as we long to see you —
|
|
||||||
for this reason, brothers, in all our distress and affliction we have been comforted about you through your faith.
|
|
||||||
For now we live, if you are standing fast in the Lord.
|
|
||||||
For what thanksgiving can we return to God for you, for all the joy that we feel for your sake before our God,
|
|
||||||
as we pray most earnestly night and day that we may see you face to face and supply what is lacking in your faith?
|
|
||||||
Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you,
|
|
||||||
and may the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all, as we do for you,
|
|
||||||
so that he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.
