1. Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,
2. For that the leaders took the lead in Israel, For that the people offered themselves willingly, Bless ye Jehovah.
3. Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing unto Jehovah; I will sing praise to Jehovah, the God of Israel.
4. Jehovah, when thou wentest forth out of Seir, When thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, The earth trembled, the heavens also dropped, Yea, the clouds dropped water.
5. The mountains quaked at the presence of Jehovah, Even yon Sinai at the presence of Jehovah, the God of Israel.
6. In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, In the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, And the travellers walked through byways.
7. The rulers ceased in Israel, they ceased, Until that I Deborah arose, That I arose a mother in Israel.
8. They chose new gods; Then was war in the gates: Was there a shield or spear seen Among forty thousand in Israel?
9. My heart is toward the governors of Israel, That offered themselves willingly among the people: Bless ye Jehovah.
