Habakkuk 3:2-4
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
2 O Lord, I have heard your renown,
and am in awe, O Lord, of your work.
In the course of years revive it,[a]
in the course of years make yourself known;
in your wrath remember compassion!
His glory covered the heavens,
and his praise filled the earth;
4 his splendor spread like the light.
He raised his horns high,(B)
he rejoiced on the day of his strength.
