Habakkuk 3:6-8
Contemporary English Version

6 When you stopped,
    the earth shook;
when you stared,
    nations trembled;
when you walked
    along your ancient paths,
eternal mountains and hills
    crumbled and collapsed.
7 The tents of desert tribes
in Cushan and Midian[a]
    were ripped apart.

8 Our Lord, were you angry
with the monsters
    of the deep?[b]
You attacked in your chariot
    and wiped them out.

  2. 3.8 monsters of the deep: The Hebrew text has “rivers and oceans,” which may stand for the powerful monsters that were thought to have lived there before the Lord defeated them.

New International Version

6 He stood, and shook the earth;
    he looked, and made the nations tremble.
The ancient mountains crumbled(A)
    and the age-old hills(B) collapsed(C)—
    but he marches on forever.(D)
7 I saw the tents of Cushan in distress,
    the dwellings of Midian(E) in anguish.(F)

8 Were you angry with the rivers,(G) Lord?
    Was your wrath against the streams?
Did you rage against the sea(H)
    when you rode your horses
    and your chariots to victory?(I)
