- Chapter 11 -

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.

I will take refuge in the Lord

(Habakkuk 1:12-17)
1
In the Lord put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
2
For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.(a)
3
If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
4
The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord’s throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
5
The Lord trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
6
Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.(b)
7
For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.
