“This is a prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, according to Shigionoth:”

Habakkuk 3:1

Save as image

Study note

This verse is the heading of a psalm-like prayer that closes the book, attributed to Habakkuk and set according to shigionoth, a musical or literary term whose exact meaning is uncertain. Like the Psalms, the chapter includes the word selah and ends with a note for the choir director, suggesting it was used in worship.
