# my inner parts trembled
|
|
|
|
The word translated here as "inner parts" is literally "belly." If your language has a specific internal organ that it uses to express the feeling of great fear, you can consider using it here. Alternate translation: "my heart beat rapidly" or "my stomach turned" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])

|
# My lips quivered at the sound
|
|
|
|
Quivering lips is another spontaneous response that comes with great fear.

|
# Decay comes into my bones
|
|
|
|
Habakkuk speaks of having no strength in his body as if his bones began to decay. You may consider using an idiom from your own language here. Alternate translation: "My body goes limp, as if my bones were rotting" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])

# under myself I tremble
|
|
|
|
The words "under myself" refer to what is below him. Possible meanings for the idiom are 1) "my legs tremble" or 2) "I tremble where I stand." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])
