Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Habakkuk 3:2

DISCOURSE: 1225A REVIVAL DESIREDHabakkuk 3:2. O Lord, revive thy work!THE ministry of the Prophet Habakkuk seems to have been contemporaneous with that of the Prophet Jeremiah. He foretells the judgments which should be executed on the Jewish nation by the Chaldeans; and the fearful recompence which should come on the heads of the Chaldeans by the instrumentality of the Medes and Persians. But he was not willing that his people should wait so long without a blessing, even the whole period of... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Habakkuk 3:1-19

Chapter 3Now in chapter 3 it is a psalm, it is,A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth ( Habakkuk 3:1 ).Now about the seventh psalm or so, I think it is upon the Shiggaion, which is the same thing, and it is with loud crying. So this is to be read with loud crying. I'm not gonna try it, but this is the prayer of Habakkuk, no doubt, prayed with loud crying; a lamentation sort of like Jeremiah. He said,O LORD, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid ( Habakkuk 3:2 ):"Lord, I've heard... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Habakkuk 3:1-19

Habakkuk 3:1 . A prayer of Habakkuk, by which he cheered and encouraged the church, and his own soul, under all the gloom that overspread the state of his country. Shigionoth, the name of a pensive air in which David uttered the sorrows of his heart, when persecuted by Saul. Psalms 7:0. Other conjectures are given, but this agrees best with David’s hymn. Habakkuk 3:2 . Oh Lord, I heard thy speech, and was afraid, as in the two preseding chapters, that the Chaldean armies should... read more

Habakkuk 3:1-2A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth.God devoutly addressedThis chapter presents to us God in three aspects, as devoutly addressed, as poetically portrayed, and as triumphantly enjoyed.I.

There is a set form given to the priests for blessing the people in Numbers 6:2-3.Psalms 92:1-15. is called a psalm... read more

Habakkuk 3:3-15God came from Teman.God poetically portrayed and practically rememberedThe Bible contains many grand songs and odes. But this song of Habakkuk stands in peerless splendour amongst them all.I. Poetically portrayed. God is here presented, not as the Absolute One, whom “no eye hath seen or can see,” nor as He appears to philosophical or logical minds, but as He appears to a lofty imagination Divinely inspired. To the prophet’s imagination He appears as coming from Teman and Mount... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Habakkuk 3:4

Habakkuk 3:4He had horns coming out of His hand.The horn as a symbolThe use of the word “horn” as a metaphor to express strength and honour is of very ancient origin. It appears to have arisen from the expression in Exodus 34:29, Moses’ “face shone,” or, literally, “emitted rays,” where the Hebrew word karan--from keren, a horn--means “to shoot forth horns,” hence applied to the horn-like rays of light. But it was frequently translated, as in the Latin Vulgate, “put forth horns”; and from this... read more
