Commentary

Commentary on Habakkuk 3:1

Theological / Devotional

A prayer. As used here this word is applied to a psalm, a hymn, or a song of devotion (see the superscriptions of Ps. 17; 90; 102). Shigionoth. Thought by some to be impassioned songs of rapid emotional changes, expressed by rapid changes in rhythm. The structure of Habakkuk’s prayer may have reflected this type of poetry. See Vol. Ill, p. 628.
