A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, according to Shigionoth—the superscription identifies chapter 3 as a prayer-poem, a hymnic response to God's revelation in chapter 2. The musical notation 'Shigionoth' suggests an emotional, passionate mode; the prayer gives voice to deep feeling in response to God's word. This designation frames Habakkuk's response not as intellectual assent but as the whole person's engagement with God through prayer and song.
