The final chapter is a prayer and psalm of Habakkuk, set to music. He asks God to “revive” His work and “in wrath remember mercy,” then bursts into a majestic vision of God coming in awesome power (His splendor covering the heavens, the mountains trembling, the sun and moon standing still) marching out “for the salvation of your people, for the salvation of your anointed,” and crushing “the head of the house of the wicked.” Trembling at the vision, Habakkuk resolves to “wait quietly for the day of trouble.” The book ends with one of the Bible’s supreme confessions of faith: “Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines... yet I will rejoice in the LORD; I will take joy in the God of my salvation. GOD, the Lord, is my strength.”
