Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Habakkuk 3:17-18

Habakkuk 3:17-18. Although the fig-tree shall not blossom Though all outward means of support should fail, yet will I still have a firm confidence in the power, goodness, and faithfulness of God, that he will preserve me, and supply me with all things necessary; and therefore, amidst the most threatening appearances of affairs, I shall still preserve inward peace and serenity of mind, as trusting in him in whom is everlasting strength, Isaiah 26:3-4. The state of the land during the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Habakkuk 3:1-19

3:1-19 HABAKKUK TRUSTS IN GOD’S JUDGMENTThe psalm of Chapter 3 has no direct connection with Judah and the Babylonians. Nevertheless, it is relevant to what Habakkuk has just written, for it describes the appearance of God in his work of judging the nations and saving his people. The psalm is introduced by what appears to be the name of the tune to which it was sung (3:1).Habakkuk recalls the mighty works that God has done for his people in the past, and he prays that God will act on their... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Habakkuk 3:18

"Yet I will rejoice in Jehovah, I will joy in the God of my salvation."See the comment on this spirit of joyful resignation under the preceding verse (Habakkuk 3:17). Habakkuk's love of God and loyalty to his Creator did not depend upon God's answering his prayer in the manner Habakkuk had hoped.The words of this response have inspired the men of all generations; and Christians, throughout history, have treasured them in moments when all earthly prospects failed, and the soul was left no... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Habakkuk 3:18

Habakkuk 3:18. Yet— Or, But for my part. Instead of, The God of my salvation, the Vulgate reads, In Jesus my God: that Jesus, says Calmet, who is the joy, the consolation, the hope, the life of believers; without whom the world can offer us nothing but false joys; who was the object of the desires, and the perpetual consolation, of the prophets and patriarchs. See John 8:56. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Habakkuk 3:17-18

Even though everything would get worse in Judah, Habakkuk determined to praise Yahweh and to rejoice in the God who would save him (cf. Psalms 18:46; Psalms 25:5). The prophet pictured the worst of circumstances by using a variety of rural metaphors drawn from plant and animal life. Taken together they have the effect of saying that no matter what bad thing may happen, Habakkuk, and hopefully all Israel, would trust God. Even though the prophet felt weak physically, he was strong in faith... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Habakkuk 3:1-19

Jehovah comes To JudgmentThis is one of the most brilliant poems in the OT. It was written by a man of imagination as well as of faith. It is not quite certain whether Habakkuk 3:8-15 are intended to refer to a past or future manifestation of Jehovah: in any case, there is the hope, or rather prayer, that history may repeat itself (Habakkuk 3:2). The poem rests upon older theophanies: cp. Judges 5; Deuteronomy 33. Long ago at the exodus Jehovah had shown His power to interpose in history... read more
