Habakkuk 3:9
Compare all
7 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction;
The curtains of the land of Midian trembled.
8 O Lord, were You displeased with the rivers,
Was Your anger against the rivers,
Was Your wrath against the sea,
That You rode on Your horses,
Your chariots of salvation?
9 Your bow was made quite ready;
Oaths were sworn over Your1 arrows. Selah
You divided the earth with rivers. 
10 The mountains saw You and trembled;
The overflowing of the water passed by.
The deep uttered its voice,
And alifted its hands on high. 
11 The asun and moon stood still in their habitation;
At the light of Your arrows they went,
At the shining of Your glittering spear.

Habakkuk 3:9

Thy bow - One part of armour is put for the whole. The Lord is represented as armed, in readiness to smite through all his enemies. According to the oaths - In pursuance of his oath made to our fathers, and their posterity. Cleave the earth - When they were to march through a dry and thirsty land.
