In the LORD I Take Refuge
(Habakkuk 1:12–17)

1To the overseer; of David. In Jehovah I put my trust: how will ye say to my soul, Wander ye to your mountain, little bird?

2For behold, the unjust will bend the bow, they prepared their arrow upon the cord, they will shoot in darkness the upright of heart.

3If the pillars shall be pulled down, what did the just one?

4Jehovah is in his holy temple; Jehovah, in the heavens his throne: his eyes will behold, his eyelashes will try the sons of man.

5Jehovah will try the just one: and the unjust and him loving violence, his soul hated.

6He will rain upon the, unjust, snares, fire and brimstone, and a wind of violent heat: the portion of their cup.

7For Jehovah the just loved justice; his face will behold the upright.
