8“Their horses shall be swifter than leopards, and more fierce than evening wolves. And their horsemen shall charge ahead, and their horsemen come from afar. They fly as the eagle, rushing to eat.

9“All of them come for violence, the direction of their faces is like the east wind, and they gather captives like sand.

10“And they scoff at sovereigns, and princes are a laughing matter to them. They laugh at every stronghold, for they pile up earth and seize it.

11“Then shall he pass on as a wind, and transgress and be guilty, and ascribe this power to his mighty one.”

12Are You not from everlasting, O יהוה my Elohim, my Set-apart One? You do not die! O יהוה, You have appointed them for right-ruling, O Rock, You have established them for reproof. HABAKKUK 1:8-12 Institute for Scripture Research – ISR

8 Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat.

9 They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.

10 And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it.

11 Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power unto his god.

12 Art thou not from everlasting, O Lord my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die. O Lord, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction. HABAKKUK 1:8-12 King James Version - KJV

8 Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the wolves in the evening: and their horsemen are many: and their horsemen shall come from far: they shall fly as the eagle hasting to meat.

9 They come all to spoil: for their faces shall be an East wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.

10 And they shall mock the Kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every stronghold: for they shall gather dust, and take it.

11 Then shall they take a courage, and transgress and do wickedly, imputing this their power unto their god.

12 Art not thou of old, O Lord my God, mine holy One? we shall not die: O Lord, thou hast ordained them for judgment, and O God, thou hast established them for correction. HABAKKUK 1:8-12 Geneva Bible 1599 – GNV

May Yah bless and keep you ALL safely abiding under the Shadows of His Mighty Wings. If you have not yet repented, I ask that you repent immediately. Turn to our Heavenly Father through His Beloved Son Yahusha Messiah (Jesus Christ). Please consider doing this immediately, for as we know the world is soon coming to a close. It is during this time that we will need Yah's full divine protection for what is to be unveiled. I believe that it was through obedience that Noah had such great faith; this in essence was what saved him and his family from the flood. As a follower of the Holy Messiah (born again Believer; a former Roman Catholic of 46+ years) there is so much to gain in doing so. My soul is richly blessed by the gems of truth revealed to me by my beloved Heavenly Father, Abba, and I have no regrets repenting of my past ways. Blessings! ~ Judy Velez

THE PSALMS

1O Elohim, we have heard with our ears, Our fathers have related to us, The work You did in their days, In the days of old.

2You drove out the nations with Your hand, But them You planted. You afflicted peoples, and sent them out.

3For not by their own sword did they possess the land, Neither did their own arm save them; But it was Your right hand and Your arm, And the light of Your face, Because You delighted in them.

4You Yourself are my Sovereign, O Elohim; Command deliverances for Ya‛aqoḇ.

5Through You we push our enemies; Through Your Name we tread down those who rise up against us.

6For I do not trust in my bow, And my sword does not save me.

7For You have saved us from our enemies, And have put to shame those who hated us.

8In Elohim we shall boast all day long, And praise Your Name forever. Selah.

9Yet You have rejected us and put us to shame, And You do not go with our armies.

10You make us turn back from the adversary, And those who hate us have plundered us.

11You do give us as sheep to be eaten, And You have scattered us among the gentiles.

12You sell Your people for no value, And have set no high price on them.

13You make us a reproach to our neighbours, A scorn and a mockery to those round about us.

14You make us a proverb among the nations, A shaking of the head among the peoples.

15My reproach is always before me, And the shame of my face has covered me,

16Because of the voice of the slanderer and blasphemer, Because of the enemy and avenger.

17All this has come upon us; But we have not forgotten You, Neither have we been false to Your covenant.

18Our heart has not turned back, Neither has our step swerved from Your way,

19Yet You have crushed us in the place of jackals, And covered us with the shadow of death.

20If we have forgotten the Name of our Elohim, Or stretched out our hands to a foreign mighty one,

21Would Elohim not search this out? For He knows the secrets of the heart.

22But for Your sake we are killed all day long; Reckoned as sheep for the slaughter.

23Awake! Why do You sleep, O יהוה? Arise! Do not reject us forever.

24Why do You hide Your face, Ignoring our affliction and our oppression?

25For our being is bowed down to the dust; Our body cleaves to the earth.

26Arise, be our help, And redeem us for Your kindness’ sake. PSALM 44 Institute for Scripture Research – ISR
