Gen Z: Habakkuk 3
1Habakkuk the prophet drops a prayer, like, "This is the vibe."
2Yo Lord, I heard your words and got shook: revive your work, no cap, show mercy in the chaos.
3God rolled up from Teman, the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory lit up the skies, earth was vibin' with praise.
4His brightness was like straight-up light; he had rizz coming from his hands, flexing his power.
5Before him, pestilence was rolling, and burning coals were low-key on fire at his feet.
6He stood tall, measuring the earth: nations got shook, mountains scattered, hills bowed down; his ways are forever.
7I peeped the tents of Cushan in struggle; the curtains of Midian were literally trembling.
8Was the Lord mad at the rivers? Was his anger against the sea? He rode through with his chariots of salvation, fr.
9Your bow was out there, showing off, making oaths with the tribes. Selah. You split the earth with rivers.
10The mountains saw you and freaked out: the waters overflowed, the deep spoke up, raising its hands high.
11The sun and moon were like, "Chill," standing still; your arrows made them move, your spear was shining.
12You marched through the land, mad as heck, threshing the nations with that righteous anger.
13You came through for your peeps, bringing salvation with your anointed one; you took out the wicked, periodt.
14You struck down the heads of their villages; they came at me like a whirlwind, trying to devour the poor, savage.
15You walked through the sea on your horses, through the massive waves, no cap.
16When I heard all this, my stomach dropped; my lips were shaking at the sound, rottenness hit my bones, I was low-key trembling, just trying to find peace in tough times.
17Even if the fig tree doesn’t bloom and the vines don’t produce, even if the olive fails and the fields are empty, no flock in sight, it’s all good.
18Still, I’m gonna rejoice in the Lord, vibing in the God of my salvation.
19The Lord God is my strength, he’ll give my feet that goated agility, making me walk on high places. For the chief singer on my stringed instruments.
