17Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines,the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food,the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls,
18yet I will rejoice in the LORD; I will take joy in the God of my salvation.
19GOD, the Lord, is my strength; he makes my feet like the deer’s; he makes me tread on my high places.
(Habakkuk 3:17-19, ESV)

Study Bible Footnotes:
"Habakkuk has learned the lesson of faith--to trust in God's providence regardless of circumstances. He declares that even if God should send suffering and loss, he would still rejoice in God his Savior--one of the strongest affirmations of faith in all Scripture."
