Habakkuk 3:8Was the Lord displeased against the rivers?The destruction of forestsWe secure dominion over the forces of nature only through recognition of the laws that govern them. The floods that have made so great havoc in Europe and America this season are the natural results of violated law.1. The forests of the hills and mountains are God’s natural check on the overflow of streams.2. As a nation we are guilty of violation of this law for protection of the valleys. The plunder of the leafy... read more

Habakkuk 3:9The bow was made quite naked, according to the oaths of the tribes, even Thy Word.--The prophet’s closing prayer is that God would, in wrath, remember mercy. For this he is encouraged to hope by a remembrance of God’s past dealings with His people, which he reviews in a strain of sublime eloquence, lifting up his heart to God with devout acknowledgment of past help, he exclaims, Thy bow was made quite naked, etc. Apply I.

Habakkuk 3:16And I trembled in myself.Horror of GodI. It is an abnormal state of mind. The benevolent character of God, and the moral constitution of the soul are sufficient to show that it was never intended that man should ever dread his Maker or be touched with any servile feelings in relation to Him. Unbounded confidence, cheerful trust, loyal love, these are the normal states of mind in relation to the Creator. How has the abnormal state arisen? The history of the Fall shows this. “I heard... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Habakkuk 3:2

Hab 3:2 O LORD, I have heard thy speech, [and] was afraid: O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy. Ver. 2. O Lord, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid ] Audivi auditionem tuam. I have heard (not thy fume or thy report, as some render it, unless it be in the prophet Isaiah’s sense, Isaiah 53:1 , but) thy preceding discourse, in answer to my disceptation. I have heard that the Babylonians will come, and that my... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Habakkuk 3:3

Hab 3:3 God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise. Ver. 3. God came from Teman ] The prophet alludeth to that of Moses in his swan-like song, Deuteronomy 33:2 , and allegeth God’s benefits of old, for his own and their present confirmation of faith; without which prayer would be to no purpose; hence effectual prayer is called the "prayer of faith," James 5:15 .

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Habakkuk 3:4

Hab 3:4 And [his] brightness was as the light; he had horns [coming] out of his hand: and there [was] the hiding of his power. Ver. 4. And his brightness was as the light ] The glory of the Lord was as a devouring fire on the top of the mountain, Exodus 24:17 ; the noonday light, the sun in his strength was nothing to this incomparable brightness, which was as the light, or as the sun, see Job 31:26 ; Job 37:20 . Hence the heathens called Apollo or the sun Orus (which is the word here used),... read more

Hab 3:5 Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet. Ver. 5. Before him went the pestilence ] Dever, the word signifieth such a disease as cometh by a Divine decree, θεηλατον . So Hippocrates call the pestilence το θειον , because sent by God in a spiritual manner, a stroke of his own bare hand as it were. Here it is made one of his apparitors or pursuivants, sent before him to destroy the Canaanites, as it had done the Egyptians. And burning coals went forth... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Habakkuk 3:6

Hab 3:6 He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: his ways [are] everlasting. Ver. 6. He stood, and measured the earth ] Not Joshua, but God, brought his people into the promised land, and divided it among them, Psalms 78:55 . Like as also he had divided the whole earth by bounds and borders to the various nations, Psalms 74:17 , and doth still appoint men the bounds of their... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Habakkuk 3:7

Hab 3:7 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: [and] the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble. Ver. 7. I saw the tents of Cushan ] King of Mesopotamia, who tyrannized over Israel eight years after Joshua’s death; God selling his people to him for nought, and not increasing his wealth by their price, Psalms 44:12 Judges 3:8 .

Hab 3:8 Was the LORD displeased against the rivers? [was] thine anger against the rivers? [was] thy wrath against the sea, that thou didst ride upon thine horses [and] thy chariots of salvation? Ver. 8. Was the Lord displeased against the rivers? ] As Xerxes, that brutish man, was against the Hellespont, for battering his bridge of boats, beating it and casting a pair of fetters into it?
