Habakkuk is speaking of his act of waiting for God’s reply as if he were a guard standing at a watchtower. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I will wait attentively for what God will say to me]

(Some words not found in UHB: on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in post_of,my stand and,I_will_take_my_stand on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in rampart and,I_will_watch to=see what? say by,me and,what? answer on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in complaint_of,my )
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of complaint, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [what I am complaining about]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
