‏ Habakkuk 3:16-18

3:16 ^a Although the full realization of God’s mighty power sapped Habakkuk’s strength to the point that he trembled, he would wait quietly (see 2:3 ^b) for God’s judgment to descend.
Summary for Hab 3:17-19: 3:17-19 ^c After recounting God’s mighty acts of redemption (3:2-15 ^d), and pausing to consider them (3:16 ^e), Habakkuk now reaffirms his trust in God as he closes his prayer.

• Even though ... yet I will rejoice: Even if God never pours out material blessing on his people again, he is still worthy of all the trust and praise they can give. Come what may, the prophet could rejoice, knowing that the Lord is not only Israel’s Redeemer, but also the source of his own salvation.
