How should Habakkuk 2:4 be rendered?
("my faith"? "his faith"? simply "faith"? "the truth of them"? "truth"?)
From where did Paul get the OT quote he presents in Romans 1:17?
(a textual stream from which the Masoretic is derived?
a textual stream from which the LXX is derived?
the Aramaic Targum? the Peshitta Tanakh?)
v. 2.5, Romans '1:17 For in it is revealed God’s righteousness from faith to faith.
As it is written, “But the righteous shall live by faith.” '
Habakkuk 2:4 (Targum, in _The Targum of the Minor Prophets_, The Aramaic Bible Vol 14 (1989), 259pp., 150-151

Behold, the wicked think that all these things are not so,^17
but the righteous shall live by the truth of them.
17: MT being obscure....
Habakkuk 2 (Brenton Septuagint)
https://biblehub.com/sep/habakkuk/2.htm
1 I will stand upon my watch, and mount upon the rock, and watch to see what he will say by me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.
2 And the Lord answered me and said, Write the vision, and that plainly on a tablet, that he that reads it may run.
3 For the vision is yet for a time, and it shall shoot forth at the end, and not in vain: though he should tarry, wait for him; for he will surely come, and will not tarry.
4 If he should draw back, my soul has no pleasure in him: but the just shall live by my faith.
5 But the arrogant man and the scorner, the boastful man, shall not finish anything; who has enlarged his desire as the grave, and like death he is never satisfied, and he will gather to himself all the nations, and will receive to himself all the peoples.
6 Shall not all these take up a parable against him? and a proverb to tell against him? and they shall say, Woe to him that multiplies to himself the possessions which are not his! how long? and who heavily loads his yoke.
7 For suddenly there shall arise up those that bite him, and they that plot against thee shall awake, and thou shalt be a plunder to them.
8 Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the nations that are left shall spoil thee, because of the blood of men, and the sins of the land and city, and of all that dwell in it.
Romans 1:17, Pulpit Commentary

"The just shall live by his faith." So in the Hebrew. The LXX. has Ὁ δὲ δικαιός μου ἐκ πίστεως ζήσεται (A.), or Ὁ δὲ δίκαιος ἐκ πίτεως μου ζήσεται (B).
Habakkuk 2 (JPS Tanakh 1917)

1 I will stand upon my watch,
And set me upon the tower,
And will look out to see what He will speak by me,
And what I shall answer when I am reproved.
2 And the LORD answered me, and said:
‘Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables,
That a man may read it swiftly.
3 For the vision is yet for the appointed time,
And it declareth of the end, and doth not lie;
Though it tarry, wait for it;
Because it will surely come, it will not delay.’
4 Behold, his soul is puffed up, it is not upright in him;
But the righteous shall live by his faith.
5 Yea, moreover, wine is a treacherous dealer;
The haughty man abideth not;
He who enlargeth his desire as the nether-world,
And is as death, and cannot be satisfied,
But gathereth unto him all nations,
And heapeth unto him all peoples.
6 Shall not all these take up a parable against him,
And a taunting riddle against him,
And say: ‘Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his!
How long? and that ladeth himself with many pledges!’
7 Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall exact interest of thee,
And awake that shall violently shake thee,
And thou shalt be for booties unto them?
8 Because thou hast spoiled many nations,
All the remnant of the peoples shall spoil thee;
Because of men’s blood, and for the violence done to the land,
To the city and to all that dwell therein.
Habakkuk 2 (Peshitta Tanakh, Lamsa translation)

1¶ I WILL stand upon my place and set me upon the rock tower,
and I will watch to see what he will say to me and what I shall answer because of my chastisement.
2 And the LORD answered me and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tablets, that he who reads it may understand it clearly.
3 For the vision will come to pass at its appointed time, and it shall be fulfilled at the end, it shall not lie;
and if it should delay, do not be impatient, because it will surely come, it will not delay.
4 For his soul does not delight in iniquity, but the righteous man shall live by faith.
5¶ The arrogant and greedy man is never satisfied, because he has enlarged his appetite like Sheol;
and like death, he has never enough, but gathers to him all peoples, and draws near to him all the nations.
6 Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him who gathers and increases that which is not his!
How long will he load himself with earthly goods?
7 Behold, they shall rise up suddenly, those who shall bite you, and awake those who shall cause you trouble, and you shall be for spoil to them.
8 Because you have plundered many nations, so the remnant of the people shall plunder you;
because of men’s blood and the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
