Habakkuk 3:12-14

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹² In fury you trod the earth,
    in anger you trampled nations.
¹³ You came forth to save your people,
    to save your anointed.
You crushed the head of the wicked house,
    laying it bare from foundation to roof.^[a]Selah
¹⁴ You pierced with their^[b] own arrows the head^[c] of his warriors,^[d]
    who came like a whirlwind to scatter us,^[e]
    gloating as if ready to devour the poor who were in hiding.
