1 Oración del profeta Habacuc, puesta a Sigionot.
1 A prayer of Habakkuk, the prophet, set to victorious music.
2 Señor, he oído noticias de ti; he visto tu obra, Señor. Cuando se acerquen los años, dala a conocer. En tu ira, recuerda la misericordia.
2 Yahweh, I have heard of your fame. I stand in awe of your deeds, Yahweh. Renew your work in the middle of the years. In the middle of the years make it known. In wrath, you remember mercy.
3 Dios vino de Temán, y el Santo del monte Parán. Selah. Los cielos quedaron cubiertos de su gloria, y la tierra se llenó de su alabanza.
3 God came from Teman, the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and his praise filled the earth.
4 Brillaba como la luz; salían rayos de su mano. Allí estaba escondido su poder.
4 His splendor is like the sunrise. Rays shine from his hand, where his power is hidden.
5 La enfermedad iba delante de él, y salían llamas a sus pies.
5 Plague went before him, and pestilence followed his feet.
6 Desde su lugar alto hizo temblar la tierra. Miró, y las naciones se sacudieron de pronto. Las montañas eternas se rompieron y las colinas que no cambian se inclinaron. Sus caminos son eternos.
6 He stood, and shook the earth. He looked, and made the nations tremble. The ancient mountains were crumbled. The age-old hills collapsed. His ways are eternal.
7 Las cortinas de Cusán se agitaban, y las tiendas de Madián temblaban.
7 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction. The dwellings of the land of Midian trembled.
8 ¿Ardía tu ira contra los ríos? ¿Estabas enojado con el mar, para ir sobre tus caballos y tus carros de guerra de salvación?
8 Was Yahweh displeased with the rivers? Was your anger against the rivers, or your wrath against the sea, that you rode on your horses, on your chariots of salvation?
9 Tu arco quedó completamente descubierto. Selah. Partiste la tierra con ríos.
9 You uncovered your bow. You called for your sworn arrows. Selah. You split the earth with rivers.
10 Las montañas te vieron y temblaron de miedo. Las nubes derramaban agua y se oía la voz de las profundidades. El sol no salió, y la luna se quedó quieta en su lugar.
10 The mountains saw you, and were afraid. The storm of waters passed by. The deep roared and lifted up its hands on high.
11 Se alejaron a la luz de tus flechas, al resplandor de tu lanza pulida.
11 The sun and moon stood still in the sky at the light of your arrows as they went, at the shining of your glittering spear.
12 Marchaste por la tierra con ira y aplastaste a las naciones con tu furor.
12 You marched through the land in wrath. You threshed the nations in anger.
13 Saliste para salvar a tu pueblo y para salvar a aquel sobre quien fue puesto tu aceite santo. Heriste la cabeza de la familia del malhechor y dejaste al descubierto la base hasta el cuello. Selah.
13 You went out for the salvation of your people, for the salvation of your anointed. You crushed the head of the land of wickedness. You stripped them head to foot. Selah.
14 Le atravesaste la cabeza con tus lanzas; sus jinetes fueron dispersados como tallos secos. Se alegraban de ahuyentar a los pobres y de devorarlos en secreto.
14 You pierced the heads of his warriors with their own spears. They came as a whirlwind to scatter me, gloating as if to devour the wretched in secret.
15 Los pies de tus caballos pisaron el mar, la masa de grandes aguas.
15 You trampled the sea with your horses, churning mighty waters.
16 Al oírlo, mis entrañas temblaron y mis labios se sacudieron con el sonido. Mis huesos perdieron fuerza y mis pasos se volvieron inseguros. Di gritos de dolor en el día de la angustia, cuando sus fuerzas subieron en grupos contra el pueblo.
16 I heard, and my body trembled. My lips quivered at the voice. Rottenness enters into my bones, and I tremble in my place because I must wait quietly for the day of trouble, for the coming up of the people who invade us.
17 Aunque la higuera no tenga flores ni la vid tenga fruto, aunque el trabajo en los olivos no dé resultado y los campos no den alimento, aunque falte el rebaño en su lugar de descanso y no haya ganado en el corral,
17 For even though the fig tree doesn’t flourish, nor fruit be in the vines, the labor of the olive fails, the fields yield no food, the flocks are cut off from the fold, and there is no herd in the stalls,
18 aun así me alegraré en el Señor; mi gozo estará en el Dios de mi salvación.
18 yet I will rejoice in Yahweh. I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!
19 El Señor Dios es mi fuerza. Hace mis pies como los de las gacelas y me guía por mis lugares altos. Para el director de música, con instrumentos de cuerda.
19 Yahweh, the Lord, is my strength. He makes my feet like deer’s feet, and enables me to go in high places. For the music director, on my stringed instruments.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… had been foreknown by the Father; as also says the prophet Habakkuk, "By this Thou shalt be known when the years have drawn nigh; Thou shalt be set forth when the time comes; because my soul is disturbed by anger, Thou shalt remember Thy mercy." Paul also says: "But when the fulness of time came, God sent forth His Son." …
In his prayer, with a song, to whom but the Lord Christ does he say, "O Lord, I have heard Thy hearing, and was afraid: O Lord, I have considered Thy works, and was greatly afraid?" What is this but the inexpressible admiration of the foreknown, new, and sudden salvation of men?

Again thou hast heard Habakkuk say to the Lord, When the years draw nigh, thou shalt be made known, when the time is come, thou shalt be shewn.

And he makes answer most plainly and says, God shall come from Teman (now Teman is by interpretation south') and the Holy One from Mount Paran, shady, woody: what the Psalmist spake in like words, We found it in the plains of the wood.
