- Chapter 11 -

I will take refuge in the Lord

(Habakkuk 1:12-17)
1
For the chief musician. A psalm of David. I take refuge in Yahweh; how will you say to me, “Flee like a bird to the mountain”?
2
For see! The wicked prepare their bows. They make ready their arrows on the strings to shoot in the darkness at the upright in heart.
3
For if the foundations are ruined, what can the righteous do?
4
Yahweh is in his holy temple; his eyes watch, his eyes examine the children of mankind.
5
Yahweh examines both the righteous and the wicked, but he hates those who love to do violence.
6
He rains burning coals and brimstone upon the wicked; a scorching wind will be their portion from his cup!
7
For Yahweh is righteous, and he loves righteousness; the upright will see his face.

I will take refuge in the Lord

(Habakkuk 1:12-17)
1
In the LORD, I take refuge. How can you say to my soul, “Flee as a bird to your mountain”?
2
For, behold, the wicked bend their bows. They set their arrows on the strings, that they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.
3
If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?
4
The LORD is in his holy temple. The LORD is on his throne in heaven. His eyes observe. His eyes examine the children of men.
5
The LORD examines the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and him who loves violence.
6
On the wicked he will rain blazing coals; fire, sulfur, and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.
7
For the LORD is righteous. He loves righteousness. The upright shall see his face.
