- Chapter 11 -

I will take refuge in the Lord

(Habakkuk 1:12-17)
1
Unto the end. A psalm for David.
2
In the Lord I put my trust: how then do you say to my soul: Get thee away from hence to the mountain like a sparrow?
3
For, lo, the wicked have bent their bow; they have prepared their arrows in the quiver; to shoot in the dark the upright of heart.
4
For they have destroyed the things which thou hast made: but what has the just man done?
5
The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord’s throne is in heaven. His eyes look on the poor man: his eyelids examine the sons of men.
6
The Lord trieth the just and the wicked: but he that loveth iniquity hateth his own soul.
7
He shall rain snares upon sinners: fire and brimstone and storms of winds shall be the portion of their cup.
8
For the Lord is just, and hath loved justice: his countenance hath beheld righteousness.

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.
