Habakkuk 3:13
_ _ with thine anointed — with Messiah; of whom Moses, Joshua, and David, God’s anointed leaders of Israel, were the types (Psalms 89:19, Psalms 89:20, Psalms 89:38). God from the beginning delivered His people in person, or by the hand of a Mediator (Isaiah 63:11). Thus Habakkuk confirms believers in the hope of their deliverance, as well because God is always the same, as also because the same anointed Mediator is ready now to fulfil God’s will and interpose for Israel, as of old [Calvin]. Maurer translates to suit the parallelism, “for salvation to Thine anointed,” namely, Israel’s king in the abstract, answering to the “people” in the former clause (compare Psalms 28:8; Lamentations 4:20). Or Israel is meant, the anointed, that is, consecrated people of Jehovah (Psalms 105:15).
_ _ woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked — probably an allusion to Psalms 68:21. Each head person sprung from and belonging to the house of Israel’s wicked foes; such as Jabin, whose city Hazor was “the head of all the kingdoms” of Canaan (Joshua 11:10; compare Judges 4:2, Judges 4:3, Judges 4:13).
_ _ discovering the foundation — Thou destroyedst high and low. As “the head of the house” means the prince, so the “foundation” means the general host of the enemy.
_ _ unto the neck — image from a flood reaching to the neck (Isaiah 8:8; Isaiah 30:28). So God, by His wrath overflowing on the foe, caused their princes’ necks to be trodden under foot by Israel’s leaders (Joshua 10:24; Joshua 11:8, Joshua 11:12). |
Habakkuk 3:13
With thine anointed — Under the conduct of thine anointed, Joshua, the type of the Messiah. Thou woundest — Gavest a deadly wound to the kings of Canaan. The house of the wicked — The courts of these kings were houses of the vilest wickedness. By discovering — Destroying all from head to foot. |
Habakkuk 3:13
Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, [even] for salvation with thy (q) anointed; thou didst wound the head out of the house of the wicked, by laying bare the foundation to the (r) neck. Selah.
(q) Signifying that there is no salvation, except by Christ.
(r) From the top to the bottom you have destroyed the enemies. |
