A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
God--singular in the Hebrew, "Eloah," instead of "Elohim," plural, usually employed. The singular is not found in any other of the minor prophets, or Jeremiah, or Ezekiel; but it is in Isaiah, Daniel, Job, and Deuteronomy.

from Teman--the country south of Judea and near Edom, in which latter country Mount Paran was situated [HENDERSON]. "Paran" is the desert region, extending from the south of Judah to Sinai. Seir, Sinai, and Paran are adjacent to one another, and are hence associated together, in respect to God's giving of the law (Deu 33:2). Teman is so identified with Seir or Edom, as here to be substituted for it. Habakkuk appeals to God's glorious manifestations to His people at Sinai, as the ground for praying that God will "revive His work" (Hab 3:2) now. For He is the same God now as ever.

Selah--a musical sign, put at the close of sections and strophes, always at the end of a verse, except thrice; namely, here, and Hab 3:9, and Psa 55:19; Psa 57:3, where, however, it closes the hemistich. It implies a change of the modulation. It comes from a root to "rest" or "pause" [GESENIUS]; implying a cessation of the chant, during an instrumental interlude. The solemn pause here prepares the mind for contemplating the glorious description of Jehovah's manifestation which follows.

earth . . . full of his praise--that is, of His glories which were calculated to call forth universal praise; the parallelism to "glory" proves this to be the sense.

19 God [0410] shall hear [08085], and afflict [06030] them, even he that abideth [03427] of old [06924]. Selah [05542]. Because they have no changes [02487], therefore they fear [03372] not God [0430].
9 Thy bow [07198] was made quite [06181] naked [05783], according to the oaths [07621] of the tribes [04294], even thy word [0562]. Selah [05542]. Thou didst cleave [01234] the earth [0776] with rivers [05104].

2 And he said [0559], The LORD [03068] came [0935] from Sinai [05514], and rose up [02224] from Seir [08165] unto them; he shined forth [03313] from mount [02022] Paran [06290], and he came [0857] with ten thousands [07233] of saints [06944]: from his right hand [03225] went a fiery [0799] [0784] law [01881] for them.
1 To the chief Musician [05329] upon Gittith [01665], A Psalm [04210] of David [01732]. O LORD [03068] our Lord [0113], how excellent [0117] is thy name [08034] in all the earth [0776]! who hast set [05414] thy glory [01935] above the heavens [08064].

14 Glory [1391] to God [2316] in [1722] the highest [5310], and [2532] on [1909] earth [1093] peace [1515], good will [2107] toward [1722] men [444].
14 And Moses [04872] sent [07971] messengers [04397] from Kadesh [06946] unto the king [04428] of Edom [0123], Thus saith [0559] thy brother [0251] Israel [03478], Thou knowest [03045] all the travail [08513] that hath befallen [04672] us:
15 How our fathers [01] went down [03381] into Egypt [04714], and we have dwelt [03427] in Egypt [04714] a long [07227] time [03117]; and the Egyptians [04714] vexed [07489] us, and our fathers [01]:

17 Let us pass [05674], I pray thee, through thy country [0776]: we will not pass [05674] through the fields [07704], or through the vineyards [03754], neither will we drink [08354] of the water [04325] of the wells [0875]: we will go [03212] by the king's [04428] high way [01870], we will not turn [05186] to the right hand [03225] nor to the left [08040], until we have passed [05674] thy borders [01366].
18 And Edom [0123] said [0559] unto him, Thou shalt not pass [05674] by me, lest I come out [03318] against [07125] thee with the sword [02719].
19 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] said [0559] unto him, We will go [05927] by the high way [04546]: and if I and my cattle [04735] drink [08354] of thy water [04325], then I will pay [05414] [04377] for it: I will only, without doing any thing [01697] else, go through [05674] on my feet [07272].
20 And he said [0559], Thou shalt not go through [05674]. And Edom [0123] came out [03318] against [07125] him with much [03515] people [05971], and with a strong [02389] hand [03027].
4 LORD [03068], when thou wentest out [03318] of Seir [08165], when thou marchedst out [06805] of the field [07704] of Edom [0123], the earth [0776] trembled [07493], and the heavens [08064] dropped [05197], the clouds [05645] also dropped [05197] water [04325].
5 The mountains [02022] melted [05140] from before [06440] the LORD [03068], even that Sinai [05514] from before [06440] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478].
2 And he said [0559], The LORD [03068] came [0935] from Sinai [05514], and rose up [02224] from Seir [08165] unto them; he shined forth [03313] from mount [02022] Paran [06290], and he came [0857] with ten thousands [07233] of saints [06944]: from his right hand [03225] went a fiery [0799] [0784] law [01881] for them.
15 The LORD [03068] thy God [0430] will raise up [06965] unto thee a Prophet [05030] from the midst [07130] of thee, of thy brethren [0251], like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken [08085];
16 According to all that thou desiredst [07592] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] in Horeb [02722] in the day [03117] of the assembly [06951], saying [0559], Let me not hear [08085] again [03254] the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] my God [0430], neither let me see [07200] this great [01419] fire [0784] any more, that I die [04191] not.
17 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto me, They have well [03190] spoken that which they have spoken [01696].
18 I will raise them up [06965] a Prophet [05030] from among [07130] their brethren [0251], like unto thee, and will put [05414] my words [01697] in his mouth [06310]; and he shall speak [01696] unto them all that I shall command [06680] him.
7 O God [0430], when thou wentest forth [03318] before [06440] thy people [05971], when thou didst march [06805] through the wilderness [03452]; Selah [05542]:
5 The mountains [02022] melted [05140] from before [06440] the LORD [03068], even that Sinai [05514] from before [06440] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478].

5 One shall say [0559], I am the LORD'S [03068]; and another shall call [07121] himself by the name [08034] of Jacob [03290]; and another shall subscribe [03789] with his hand [03027] unto the LORD [03068], and surname [03655] himself by the name [08034] of Israel [03478].
2 And many [07227] nations [01471] shall come [01980], and say [0559], Come [03212], and let us go up [05927] to the mountain [02022] of the LORD [03068], and to the house [01004] of the God [0430] of Jacob [03290]; and he will teach [03384] us of his ways [01870], and we will walk [03212] in his paths [0734]: for the law [08451] shall go forth [03318] of Zion [06726], and the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] from Jerusalem [03389].
3 And many [07227] people [05971] shall go [01980] and say [0559], Come [03212] ye, and let us go up [05927] to the mountain [02022] of the LORD [03068], to the house [01004] of the God [0430] of Jacob [03290]; and he will teach [03384] us of his ways [01870], and we will walk [03212] in his paths [0734]: for out of Zion [06726] shall go forth [03318] the law [08451], and the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] from Jerusalem [03389].
21 But as truly [0199] as I live [02416], all the earth [0776] shall be filled [04390] with the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068].
8 I am the LORD [03068]: that is my name [08034]: and my glory [03519] will I not give [05414] to another [0312], neither my praise [08416] to graven images [06456].
3 And one cried [07121] unto another, and said [0559], Holy [06918], holy [06918], holy [06918], is the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]: the whole earth [0776] is full [04393] of his glory [03519].
10 Deck [05710] thyself now with majesty [01347] and excellency [01363]; and array [03847] thyself with glory [01935] and beauty [01926].
6 He stood [05975], and measured [04128] the earth [0776]: he beheld [07200], and drove asunder [05425] the nations [01471]; and the everlasting [05703] mountains [02042] were scattered [06327], the perpetual [05769] hills [01389] did bow [07817]: his ways [01979] are everlasting [05769].
4 And his brightness [05051] was as the light [0216]; he had horns [07161] coming out of his hand [03027]: and there was the hiding [02253] of his power [05797].
3 God [0433] came [0935] from Teman [08487], and the Holy One [06918] from mount [02022] Paran [06290]. Selah [05542]. His glory [01935] covered [03680] the heavens [08064], and the earth [0776] was full [04390] of his praise [08416].
1 A Psalm [04210] of David [01732], when he fled [01272] from [06440] Absalom [053] his son [01121]. LORD [03068], how are they increased [07231] that trouble [06862] me! many [07227] are they that rise up [06965] against me.
2 Many [07227] there be which say [0559] of my soul [05315], There is no help [03444] for him in God [0430]. Selah [05542].
3 But thou, O LORD [03068], art a shield [04043] for me; my glory [03519], and the lifter up [07311] of mine head [07218].
4 I cried [07121] unto the LORD [03068] with my voice [06963], and he heard [06030] me out of his holy [06944] hill [02022]. Selah [05542].
5 I laid me down [07901] and slept [03462]; I awaked [06974]; for the LORD [03068] sustained [05564] me.
6 I will not be afraid [03372] of ten thousands [07233] of people [05971], that have set [07896] themselves against me round about [05439].
7 Arise [06965], O LORD [03068]; save [03467] me, O my God [0430]: for thou hast smitten [05221] all mine enemies [0341] upon the cheek bone [03895]; thou hast broken [07665] the teeth [08127] of the ungodly [07563].
8 Salvation [03444] belongeth unto the LORD [03068]: thy blessing [01293] is upon thy people [05971]. Selah [05542].
2 And he said [0559], The LORD [03068] came [0935] from Sinai [05514], and rose up [02224] from Seir [08165] unto them; he shined forth [03313] from mount [02022] Paran [06290], and he came [0857] with ten thousands [07233] of saints [06944]: from his right hand [03225] went a fiery [0799] [0784] law [01881] for them.
12 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] took [05265] their journeys [04550] out of the wilderness [04057] of Sinai [05514]; and the cloud [06051] rested [07931] in the wilderness [04057] of Paran [06290].
12 But I will send [07971] a fire [0784] upon Teman [08487], which shall devour [0398] the palaces [0759] of Bozrah [01224].
9 And thy mighty [01368] men, O Teman [08487], shall be dismayed [02865], to the end that every one [0376] of the mount [02022] of Esau [06215] may be cut off [03772] by slaughter [06993].
2 And he said [0559], The LORD [03068] came [0935] from Sinai [05514], and rose up [02224] from Seir [08165] unto them; he shined forth [03313] from mount [02022] Paran [06290], and he came [0857] with ten thousands [07233] of saints [06944]: from his right hand [03225] went a fiery [0799] [0784] law [01881] for them.
12 Thou didst march through [06805] the land [0776] in indignation [02195], thou didst thresh [01758] the heathen [01471] in anger [0639].
13 Thou wentest forth [03318] for the salvation [03468] of thy people [05971], even for salvation [03468] with thine anointed [04899]; thou woundedst [04272] the head [07218] out of the house [01004] of the wicked [07563], by discovering [06168] the foundation [03247] unto the neck [06677]. Selah [05542].
14 Thou didst strike through [05344] with his staves [04294] the head [07218] of his villages [06518]: they came out as a whirlwind [05590] to scatter [06327] me: their rejoicing [05951] was as to devour [0398] the poor [06041] secretly [04565].
13 Thou art of purer [02889] eyes [05869] than to behold [07200] evil [07451], and canst [03201] not look [05027] on iniquity [05999]: wherefore lookest [05027] thou upon them that deal treacherously [0898], and holdest thy tongue [02790] when the wicked [07563] devoureth [01104] the man that is more righteous [06662] than he?
15 But Jeshurun [03484] waxed fat [08080], and kicked [01163]: thou art waxen fat [08080], thou art grown thick [05666], thou art covered [03780] with fatness; then he forsook [05203] God [0433] which made [06213] him, and lightly esteemed [05034] the Rock [06697] of his salvation [03444].
4 LORD [03068], when thou wentest out [03318] of Seir [08165], when thou marchedst out [06805] of the field [07704] of Edom [0123], the earth [0776] trembled [07493], and the heavens [08064] dropped [05197], the clouds [05645] also dropped [05197] water [04325].
2 And he said [0559], The LORD [03068] came [0935] from Sinai [05514], and rose up [02224] from Seir [08165] unto them; he shined forth [03313] from mount [02022] Paran [06290], and he came [0857] with ten thousands [07233] of saints [06944]: from his right hand [03225] went a fiery [0799] [0784] law [01881] for them.
2 And he said [0559], The LORD [03068] came [0935] from Sinai [05514], and rose up [02224] from Seir [08165] unto them; he shined forth [03313] from mount [02022] Paran [06290], and he came [0857] with ten thousands [07233] of saints [06944]: from his right hand [03225] went a fiery [0799] [0784] law [01881] for them.
5 Before [06440] him went [03212] the pestilence [01698], and burning coals [07565] went forth [03318] at his feet [07272].
4 And his brightness [05051] was as the light [0216]; he had horns [07161] coming out of his hand [03027]: and there was the hiding [02253] of his power [05797].
3 God [0433] came [0935] from Teman [08487], and the Holy One [06918] from mount [02022] Paran [06290]. Selah [05542]. His glory [01935] covered [03680] the heavens [08064], and the earth [0776] was full [04390] of his praise [08416].
3 God [0433] came [0935] from Teman [08487], and the Holy One [06918] from mount [02022] Paran [06290]. Selah [05542]. His glory [01935] covered [03680] the heavens [08064], and the earth [0776] was full [04390] of his praise [08416].
10 The mountains [02022] saw [07200] thee, and they trembled [02342]: the overflowing [02230] of the water [04325] passed by [05674]: the deep [08415] uttered [05414] his voice [06963], and lifted up [05375] his hands [03027] on high [07315].
11 The sun [08121] and moon [03394] stood still [05975] in their habitation [02073]: at the light [0216] of thine arrows [02671] they went [01980], and at the shining [05051] of thy glittering [01300] spear [02595].
12 Thou didst march through [06805] the land [0776] in indignation [02195], thou didst thresh [01758] the heathen [01471] in anger [0639].
13 Thou wentest forth [03318] for the salvation [03468] of thy people [05971], even for salvation [03468] with thine anointed [04899]; thou woundedst [04272] the head [07218] out of the house [01004] of the wicked [07563], by discovering [06168] the foundation [03247] unto the neck [06677]. Selah [05542].
14 Thou didst strike through [05344] with his staves [04294] the head [07218] of his villages [06518]: they came out as a whirlwind [05590] to scatter [06327] me: their rejoicing [05951] was as to devour [0398] the poor [06041] secretly [04565].
15 Thou didst walk [01869] through the sea [03220] with thine horses [05483], through the heap [02563] of great [07227] waters [04325].
34 Ascribe [05414] ye strength [05797] unto God [0430]: his excellency [01346] is over Israel [03478], and his strength [05797] is in the clouds [07834].
5 A father [01] of the fatherless [03490], and a judge [01781] of the widows [0490], is God [0430] in his holy [06944] habitation [04583].
8 Was the LORD [03068] displeased [02734] against the rivers [05104]? was thine anger [0639] against the rivers [05104]? was thy wrath [05678] against the sea [03220], that thou didst ride [07392] upon thine horses [05483] and thy chariots [04818] of salvation [03444]?
25 The singers [07891] went before [06923], the players on instruments [05059] followed after [0310]; among [08432] them were the damsels [05959] playing with timbrels [08608].
5 Before [06440] him went [03212] the pestilence [01698], and burning coals [07565] went forth [03318] at his feet [07272].
33 He maketh [07737] my feet [07272] like hinds [0355]' feet, and setteth [05975] me upon my high places [01116].
34 He teacheth [03925] my hands [03027] to war [04421], so that a bow [07198] of steel [05154] is broken [05181] by mine arms [02220].
19 The LORD [03069] God [0136] is my strength [02428], and he will make [07760] my feet [07272] like hinds [0355]' feet, and he will make me to walk [01869] upon mine high places [01116]. To the chief singer [05329] on my stringed instruments [05058].
10 And he rode [07392] upon a cherub [03742], and did fly [05774]: yea, he did fly [01675] upon the wings [03671] of the wind [07307].
8 Was the LORD [03068] displeased [02734] against the rivers [05104]? was thine anger [0639] against the rivers [05104]? was thy wrath [05678] against the sea [03220], that thou didst ride [07392] upon thine horses [05483] and thy chariots [04818] of salvation [03444]?
8 There went up [05927] a smoke [06227] out of his nostrils [0639], and fire [0784] out of his mouth [06310] devoured [0398]: coals [01513] were kindled [01197] by it.
6 He stood [05975], and measured [04128] the earth [0776]: he beheld [07200], and drove asunder [05425] the nations [01471]; and the everlasting [05703] mountains [02042] were scattered [06327], the perpetual [05769] hills [01389] did bow [07817]: his ways [01979] are everlasting [05769].
2 And he said [0559], The LORD [03068] came [0935] from Sinai [05514], and rose up [02224] from Seir [08165] unto them; he shined forth [03313] from mount [02022] Paran [06290], and he came [0857] with ten thousands [07233] of saints [06944]: from his right hand [03225] went a fiery [0799] [0784] law [01881] for them.
3 God [0433] came [0935] from Teman [08487], and the Holy One [06918] from mount [02022] Paran [06290]. Selah [05542]. His glory [01935] covered [03680] the heavens [08064], and the earth [0776] was full [04390] of his praise [08416].
2 And he said [0559], The LORD [03068] came [0935] from Sinai [05514], and rose up [02224] from Seir [08165] unto them; he shined forth [03313] from mount [02022] Paran [06290], and he came [0857] with ten thousands [07233] of saints [06944]: from his right hand [03225] went a fiery [0799] [0784] law [01881] for them.
21 And he dwelt [03427] in the wilderness [04057] of Paran [06290]: and his mother [0517] took [03947] him a wife [0802] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714].
7 Concerning Edom [0123], thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]; Is wisdom [02451] no more in Teman [08487]? is counsel [06098] perished [06] from the prudent [0995]? is their wisdom [02451] vanished [05628]?
21 Thus Edom [0123] refused [03985] to give [05414] Israel [03478] passage [05674] through his border [01366]: wherefore Israel [03478] turned away [05186] from him.
