哈巴谷書 3:1 CUNPTS

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 3:1

This chapter is a concluding prayer by Habakkuk, although a great deal of it is more like what would be called a devotional. "All devotional addresses to God are called prayers (Psalms 72:20)."[1] Stephens-Hodge defended the unity of the whole prophecy and believed that, "This third chapter could hardly be more suitable to what preceded; and it was deliberately designed by Habakkuk as the crown of his whole composition."[2] Many students of the Bible have praised this chapter in the manner of... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Habakkuk 3:1-2

Habakkuk 3:1-2. A prayer of Habakkuk— שׁגינות Shigionoth signifies wanderings. This word of the prophet seems to relate both to the deviations of the Jewish people from God's law, and also to their wandering, or being removed from their land on that account. Aquila, Symmachus, and Theodotion, render the word αγνοηματων ignorances. So the Vulgate ignorantiis. See Parkhurst on the word שׁגאּה. Habakkuk having been informed by God of his design to send the Jews into captivity for their sins, and... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Habakkuk 3:1

1. prayer—the only strictly called prayers are in Habakkuk 3:2. But all devotional addresses to God are called "prayers" (Psalms 72:20). The Hebrew is from a root "to apply to a judge for a favorable decision." Prayers in which praises to God for deliverance, anticipated in the sure confidence of faith, are especially calculated to enlist Jehovah on His people's side (2 Chronicles 20:20-22; 2 Chronicles 20:26). upon Shigionoth—a musical phrase, "after the manner of elegies," or mournful odes,... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Habakkuk 3:1

A. The introduction to the hymn 3:1Habakkuk’s prayer is hymnic in form, like many of the psalms (cf. Psalms 16; Psalms 30; Psalms 45; Psalms 88; Psalms 102; Psalms 142), and it apparently stood apart from the rest of the book at one time, as this title verse suggests. "Shigionoth" may be the title of the tune that the prophet and later Israelites used to sing this song. But the Hebrew word is the plural form of the same word used in the title of Psalms 7, but nowhere else. "Shiggaion" evidently... 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

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Habakkuk 3:1

(1) Upon Shigionoth.—This term points, not to the contents of the composition, but either to its metrical structure or its musical setting. See on the Inscription of Psalms 7:0. Inasmuch as this ode is throughout an account of the deliverance anticipated by prayerful faith, it is called not a Psalm, mizmôr, but a Prayer, t’philtâh. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Habakkuk 3:1-15

III.(1-15) A hymn describing a future self-manifestation of Jehovah on Israel’s behalf, accompanied by the signs and wonders of the early history. It is impossible to give the English reader an idea of the rhythmical structure of this beautiful composition. We will only observe that it is independent of the arrangement in verses, and that the poem (except in Habakkuk 3:7-8; Habakkuk 3:13, fin.) consists of lines each containing exactly three words. read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Habakkuk 3:1-19

A Prayer for Middle Life Habakkuk 3:2 What we commonly call a revival of religion is the conversion of the young on a large scale. But when youth, with its energies and hopes, is delivered from this present evil world and translated into the kingdom of God's dear Son, this is not revival. It is the access of life to life. But when those who have-known life of nature and of the spirit find it sinking in the midst of the years, to have it restored by the Divine breath this is indeed revival. I. ... read more
