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.
