1. At that time, Deborah and Barak, Abinoam’s son, sang:
2. When hair is long in Israel,when people willingly offer themselves—bless the Lord!
3. Hear, kings!Listen, rulers!I, to the Lord, I will sing.I will make music to the Lord, Israel’s God.
4. Lord, when you set out from Seir,when you marched out from Edom’s fields, the land shook,the sky poured down,the clouds poured down water.
5. The mountains quakedbefore the Lord, the one from Sinai,before the Lord, the God of Israel.
6. In the days of Shamgar, Anath’s son,in the days of Jael, caravans ceased.Those traveling by roadkept to the backroads.
