Structure

NKJV groups this chapter into:

Verse 1

A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth. (KJV)[7]
  • "Shigionoth" (Hebrew: שגינות from the root singular word שִׁגָּיוֹן Shiggayon, the title could be rendered "wild, passionate song, with rapid changes of rhythm"[8] or "a hymn."[9]

Verse 19

The Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet,
and he will make me to walk upon mine high places.
To the chief singer on my stringed instruments. (KJV)[10]

Masoretic text:

יהוה אדני חילי וישם רגלי כאילות ועל במותי ידרכני למנצח בנגינותי׃

Transliteration:

YHWH a·do·nai khi·li wai·ya·syem rag·lai ka·'ai·ya·lot
we·'al ba·mo·tai yad·ri·khe·ni
lam·na·tze·akh bin·gi·no·tai.<ref>Habakkuk 3:19 in Hebrew - Biblehub]

Verse 19 note

Discussion

Some scholars suggest that Chapter 3 may be a later independent addition to the book,[13] in part because it is not included among the Dead Sea Scrolls. However, this chapter does appear in all copies of the Septuagint, as well as in texts from as early as the 3rd century BC.[13] This final chapter is a poetic praise of God, and has some similarities with texts found in the Book of Daniel. However, the fact that the third chapter is written in a different style, as a liturgical piece, does not necessarily mean that Habakkuk was not also its author.[14] Its omission from the Dead Sea Scrolls is attributed to the inability of the Qumran sect to fit Habakkuk's theology with their own narrow viewpoint.[15]
