The word "faith" as it appears in Hab. 2:4 bears the idea of "God's continual faithfullness" to his people (as their Covenant God); despite their unfaithlessness. In other words,I take the term "faith" to mean God's commitment to be the Faithful covenant God to Israel.
Could this be a possible interpretation of the word "faith" in Hab. 2:4?
