Habakkuk 3:1-19
A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet. On shigionoth.
Lord, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, Lord. Repeat them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy.
His splendor was like the sunrise; rays flashed from his hand, where his power was hidden.
Sun and moon stood still in the heavens at the glint of your flying arrows, at the lightning of your flashing spear. In wrath you strode through the earth and in anger you threshed the nations. You came out to deliver your people, to save your anointed one. You crushed the leader of the land of wickedness, you stripped him from head to foot.
I heard and my heart pounded, my lips quivered at the sound; decay crept into my bones, and my legs trembled. Yet I will wait patiently for the day of calamity to come on the nation invading us. Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.
Why?
What we see is different from what the Lord sees.
What we can do is pray to the Lord for mercy to come upon us. I am a sinner. I have nothing without the love of the Lord.
After the answer of the Lord, Habakkuk realized that the Lord is full of mercy even under the wrath of the Lord, God has a plan to save his people who trust in Him.

流離歌:激昂奔放的曲調
v1-7 稱神以第三人稱，好像對人訴說。聽到神說話後，懼怕，為自己曾以質問神的方式問神而懼怕。復興你的作為：哈巴谷求的復興是懼怕的，是神的作為，公義彰顯出來，審判祂的百姓，潔淨這地。復興來臨前要使自己聖潔。求復興時也求憐憫！復興來到時，人沒有辦法站立得住。有瘟疫流行；在他腳下有熱症發出，不僅有戰爭還有疾病。
看來可怕的作為卻是拯救神的百姓，拯救神的受膏者。
我聽見耶和華的聲音，身體戰兢，嘴唇發顫：不是平日的敬拜讚美，而是懼怕的。復興來臨也是災難來臨的時候。復興不是歸回，可是猶大國被滅亡的時候。
不是無奈的接受神這些作為，更是積極的稱頌、讚美神，在什麼都沒有的時候，仍然可以讚美神，精神百倍，快跑如母鹿，快跑跟隨神，行在高處。
在這種惡劣狀況下，仍因耶和華歡欣，因救我的神喜樂。

How?
Give thanks to the Lord and trust in the Lord, for God is my shepherd and I am a lamb in God's pasture.
