Habacuque 3

Habakkuk Rejoices in the Lord

17 Though the fig tree should not blossom,

nor fruit be on the vines,

the produce of the olive fail

and the fields yield no food,

the flock be cut off from the fold

and there be no herd in the stalls,

18 *[Job 13:15] yet I will rejoice in the Lord;

*Ps. 9:14;13:5;21:1;35:9;Luke 1:47;See Joel 2:23I will take joy in the God of my salvation.

19 God, the Lord, is my strength;

*See 2 Sam. 2:18he makes my feet like the deer’s;

he makes me *Amos 4:13;Mic. 1:3tread on my *Deut. 32:13;33:29high places.

*See Ps. 4To the choirmaster: with *Isa. 38:20stringed*3:19 Hebrew my stringed instruments.
