Excerpt from The Psalm of Habakkuk: A Revised Translation, With Exegetical and Critical, Notes on the Hebrew and Greek Texts
With these two feelings then filling his heart - with the knowledge that On His people God's wrath is to be poured out, that a race mighty and pitiless is to work His will upon them; but with the fullest belief that beyond the storm of trouble, nay, amid it, God's purpose of mercy fully held, - the Prophet breaks out in this marvellous Psalm, in which the twofold thoughts of the preceding chapters are wrought together, two ideas running connected throughout, till, in the jubilant strain at the end, all is forgotten but the full out-pouring of God's love for His people.
Thus the whole prophecy becomes one connected utterance, the two thoughts of the suffering and the deliverance, dwelt on in the first two chapters, being the underlying fabric of the Psalm; and the repressed force of those earlier chapters breaks out in the utterance, at once earnestly expectant and jubilant, of the conclusion.
