1 Προσευχη Αββακουμ του προφητου επι Σιγιωνωθ.

2 Κυριε, ηκουσα την ακοην σου και εφοβηθην· Κυριε, ζωοποιει το εργον σου εν μεσω των ετων· Εν μεσω των ετων γνωστοποιει, αυτο· εν τη οργη σου μνησθητι ελεους.

3 Ο Θεος ηλθεν απο Θαιμαν και ο Αγιος απο του ορους Φαραν· Διαψαλμα. εκαλυψεν ουρανους η δοξα αυτου, και της αινεσεως αυτου ητο πληρης η γη·

4 Και η λαμψις αυτου ητο ως το φως· ακτινες εξηρχοντο εκ της χειρος αυτου, και εκει ητο ο κρυψων της ισχυος αυτου.

5 Εμπροσθεν αυτου προεπορευετο ο θανατος, και αστραπαι εξηρχοντο υπο τους ποδας αυτου.

6 Εσταθη και διεμετρησε την γην· επεβλεψε και διελυσε τα εθνη· και τα ορη τα αιωνια συνετριβησαν, οι αιωνιοι βουνοι εταπεινωθησαν· αι οδοι αυτου ειναι αιωνιοι.

7 Ειδον τας σκηνας της Αιθιοπιας εν θλιψει· ετρομαξαν τα παραπετασματα της γης Μαδιαμ.

8 Μηπως ωργισθη ο Κυριος κατα των ποταμων; μηπως ητο ο θυμος σου κατα των ποταμων; η η οργη σου κατα της θαλασσης, ωστε επεβης επι τους ιππους σου και επι τας αμαξας σου προς σωτηριαν;

9 Εσυρθη εξω το τοξον σου, καθως μεθ' ορκου ανηγγειλας εις τας φυλας. Διαψαλμα. Συ διεσχισας την γην εις ποταμους.

10 Σε ειδον τα ορη και ετρομαξαν. Κατακλυσμος υδατων επηλθεν· η αβυσσος ανεπεμψε την φωνην αυτης, ανυψωσε τας χειρας αυτης.

11 Ο ηλιος και η σεληνη εσταθησαν εν τω κατοικητηριω αυτων· εν τω φωτι των βελων σου περιεπατουν, εν τη λαμψει της αστραπτουσης λογχης σου.

12 Εν αγανακτησει διηλθες την γην, εν θυμω κατεπατησας τα εθνη.

13 Εξηλθες εις σωτηριαν του λαου σου, εις σωτηριαν του χριστου σου· επαταξας τον αρχηγον του οικου των ασεβων, απεκαλυψας τα θεμελια εως βαθους. Διαψαλμα.

14 Διεπερασας με τας λογχας αυτου την κεφαλην των στραταρχων αυτου· εφωρμησαν ως ανεμοστροβιλος δια να μη διασκορπισωσιν· η αγαλλιασις αυτων ητο ως εαν εμελλον κρυφιως να καταφαγωσι τον πτωχον.

15 Διεβης δια της θαλασσης μετα των ιππων σου, δια σωρων υδατων πολλων.

16 Ηκουσα, και τα εντοσθια μου συνεταραχθησαν· τα χειλη μου ετρεμον εις την φωνην· η σαθροτης εισηλθεν εις τα οστα μου, και υποκατω μου ελαβον τρομον· πλην εν τη ημερα της θλιψεως θελω αναπαυθη, οταν αναβη κατα του λαου ο μελλων να εκπορθηση αυτον.

17 Αν και η συκη δεν θελει βλαστησει, μηδε θελει εισθαι καρπος εν ταις αμπελοις· ο κοπος της ελαιας θελει ματαιωθη, και οι αγροι δεν θελουσι δωσει τροφην· το ποιμνιον θελει εξολοθρευθη απο της μανδρας, και δεν θελουσιν εισθαι βοες εν τοις σταυλοις·

18 Εγω ομως θελω ευφραινεσθαι εις τον Κυριον, θελω χαιρει εις τον Θεον της σωτηριας μου.

19 Κυριος ο Θεος ειναι η δυναμις μου, και θελει καμει τους ποδας μου ως των ελαφων· και θελει με καμει να περιπατω επι τους υψηλους τοπους μου. Εις τον πρωτον μουσικον επι Νεγινωθ.

9595. 'Ten curtains' means all the truths of which it consists. This is clear from the meaning of 'ten' as all, dealt with in 4638, so that 'a tenth part', which is one curtain, means a sufficient amount, 8468, 8540; and from the meaning of 'curtains' as the interior truths of faith which belong to the new understanding. For 'the dwelling-place' means the middle or second heaven, which is heaven by virtue of its reception of Divine Truth emanating from the Lord's Divine Good, as shown above in 9594; consequently the curtains of which it was assembled and which enveloped it are the truths of faith belonging to the new understanding. They are interior truths, because exterior truths are meant by the curtains made from [the hair of] goats for the tent going all the way round, which are also dealt with in the present chapter.

[2] The fact that 'curtains' are the truths of faith which those in the Lord's spiritual kingdom possess is clear from places in the Word where they are mentioned, as in Isaiah,

Sing, O barren one that did not bear; for the sons of her that is desolate will be more than the sons of her that is married. Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your dwelling-places. Lengthen the ropes, because you will break out to the right and to the left, and your seed will inherit the nations. Isaiah 54:1-3.

This refers to the Church to be established among the gentiles, which is called 'a barren one that did not bear' because it lacks truths from the Word, 9325. It says that 'her sons will be more than those of her that is married' because it will have more truths than the devastated former Church had; for 'sons' are truths, 489, 491, 533, 1147, 3373, 3704. 'Enlarging the place of the tent' stands for the holiness of worship springing from the good of love, 3312, 4391, 4599, 'stretching out the curtains of dwelling-places' for the holiness of worship springing from the truths of faith.

[3] In Jeremiah,

The whole land has been laid waste. Suddenly My tents have been laid waste, My curtains in a moment. Jeremiah 4:20.

'A land laid waste' stands for the Church, 9325, 'tents laid waste' for the holiness of worship springing from the good of love, 'curtains laid waste' for holy worship springing from the truths of faith.

[4] In the same prophet,

My tent has been laid waste, and all My ropes torn away. My sons have gone away from Me, and they are not. There is no one stretching out My tent any more, and setting up My curtains. For the shepherds have become stupid. Jeremiah 10:20-21.

Here the meaning is similar. In the same prophet,

Arise and go up against Arabia, and lay waste the sons of the east. They will take their tents and flocks, their curtains and all their vessels, and bear their camels away for themselves. Jeremiah 49:28-29.

'Arabia' and 'the sons of the east' stand for those with cognitions or knowledge of goodness and truth, 3249; 'taking tents and flocks' stands for taking the Church's forms of interior good, 8937, 'taking curtains' for taking the Church's interior truths, 'their vessels' the Church's exterior truths, 3068, 3079, 'camels' general facts, 3048, 3071, 3143, 3145. In Habakkuk,

Below Aven I saw the tents of Cushan; the curtains of Midian shook. Habakkuk 3:7.

'The curtains of Midian' stands for the truths with those governed by simple good, 3242, 4756, 4788, 6773, 6775.

[5] All this shows what is meant by the following in David,

O Jehovah, You have put on glory and honour - He who covers Himself with light, as if with a garment; He stretches out the heavens like a curtain. Psalms 104:1-2.

'Covering Himself with light, as if with a garment' stands for Divine Truths. Truth is meant by 'light', see 9548, and also by 'a garment', 4545, 4763, 5319, 5954, 9093, 9212, 9216; therefore 'stretching out the heavens like a curtain' means enlarging the heavens by means of an influx of God's truth, from which come intelligence and wisdom. 'Stretching and spreading out the heavens' has reference to the new or regenerated understanding part of the mind, see at the end of the very next paragraph, 9596.
