Matthew Poole and continuators on Habakkuk 3:1

1 A Prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Sigionoth .

The Prophet required the Earth should be silent before God, and now gives them example; he waits on and prays to God in his Holy Temple, some say 'tis a Prayer of intercession, and that the word carrieth it so.

Vid. chap. 1. ver. 1. let. c.

A musical note, say some, and such note as the Jews have no certain knowledge of. Others say Sigion[illegible: 1 letter]th is ignorances, which the Prophet doth confess, and sueth for the pardon of; both he and the people had erred, were offended at the darkness of divine providences, and needed pardon as well as instruction, or it may be a Prayer on occasion of the many and great changes Providence wrought in the affairs of the World and the Church.
