Habakkuk 3:18-19
New English Translation
18 I will rejoice because of[a] the Lord;
I will be happy because of the God who delivers me!
19 The Sovereign Lord is my source of strength.[b]
He gives me the agility of a deer;[c]
he enables me to negotiate the rugged terrain.[d]
(This prayer is for the song leader. It is to be accompanied by stringed instruments.)[e]
