Commentary on Habakkuk 3:19

Theological / Devotional

Like hinds’ feet. Among the rough crags and the treacherous trails of the mountains the feet of the hind were swift and sure (see 2 Sam. 22:34; Ps. 18:32, 33). Make me to walk. Here Habakkuk identifies himself with his people, as Moses (Ex. 32:30-32), Jeremiah (ch. 14:19-21), and Daniel (ch. 9:3-19) did. Israel’s success (see Isa. 58:14) is his own success. Upon mine high places. God’s people will triumph over all opposition, and will dwell securely upon the heights of salvation (see Deut. 32:13; 33:29; Isa. 58:13, 14; Amos 4:13). All the questions of the prophet are answered by faith in God, and Habakkuk rests content that ultimately right and truth will triumph forevermore. Chief singer. Probably the leader of the Temple music. Very likely Habakkuk’s psalm was intended to be used in public worship, perhaps to be accompanied by “stringed instruments.”
