I will take refuge in the Lord

(Habakkuk 1:12-17)
1
I trust that Yahweh will protect me. So I do not fly off to the mountains like birds do.
2
It is true that wicked people have hidden in the darkness, that they have pulled back their bowstrings and aimed their arrows to shoot them at people who honor Yahweh.
3
When wicked people do not suffer for disobeying the laws, what can righteous people do?
4
But Yahweh is sitting on his throne in his sacred temple in heaven, and he sees everything that people do.
5
Yahweh examines what righteous people do and what wicked people do, and he hates those who love to injure others.
6
He will send down from the sky flaming coals and burning sulfur on the wicked; he will send scorching hot winds to punish them.
7
Yahweh does everything that is right, and he loves those who do what is right; such people will come into his presence.

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.
