John Trapp on Habakkuk 3:18

Verſe 18. Yet I will rejoyce in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my ſalvation] This joy of the Lord was the Prophets ſtrength, Nch. 8.10. and kept his head above all waters of affliction. So it was Davids at the ſack of Ziglag 1 Sam. 30.6. when Saul at the ſame time for want of it ran firſt to the witch, and thence to the ſwords point. A Good man hath God for his portion: and if any occaſion of diſcontent or trouble befall him, he retireth into his Counting-houſe, and there ſeeth himſelf ſo well ſtored with unlooſable graces and invaluable priviledges, that he cannot be greatly moved Pſal. 62.2. His ſoule in greateſt ſtraights can magnifie the Lord, and his ſpirit rejoyce in God his Saviour. Diſquieted he may be ſometimes for a ſeaſon, till he hath recollected and better bethought himſelf, we are ſtaggering ſaith the Apoſtle, but not wholy ſticking 2 Cor. 4.8. for not the eveneſt waights but at their firſt putting into the ballance do ſomwhat ſway both parts thereof, not without ſome ſhew of inequality, which yet after ſome little motion do ſettle themſelves in a meet poiſe and poſture.
