17 Though the mills may
be shuttered
and the forests are too quiet,
though the potato fields are
flooded
and do not provide their
harvest,
though the young are
departing
for the cities, for
greener pastures,
18 yet I rejoice in my
God
I will be joyful in
Christ my Savior.
19 The Creator of the
universe is my strength
I am like the deer, its
hooves
steady on Your mountain.

Habakkuk
3:17-19 (NIV)
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Habakkuk+3%3A17-19&version=NIV
17 Though the fig tree does not bud
and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
and the fields produce no food,
though there are no sheep in the pen
and no cattle in the stalls,
18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
I will be joyful in God my Savior.

19 The Sovereign Lord is my strength;
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
he enables me to tread on the heights.”
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
he enables me to tread on the heights.”
Habakkuk
3:17-19 (rewritten by me)
17
Though the mills may be shuttered
and the forests are empty,
though the fields do not provide
their bounty, their harvest,
though the young are departing
for greener pastures,
18
yet I rejoice in my God
I will be joyful in Christ my Savior.
19
The Creator of the universe is my rock
I am like the deer, its hooves
steady on the Mountain.
