1. On that day Deborah and Barak son of Abinoam sang this song:
2. “The leaders led Israel.The people volunteered to go to battle.Praise the Lord!
3. Listen, kings.Pay attention, rulers!I myself will sing to the Lord.I will make music to the Lord, the God of Israel.
4. “Lord, in the past you came from Edom.You marched from the land of Edom,and the earth shook.The skies rained,and the clouds dropped water.
5. The mountains shook before the Lord, the God of Mount Sinai.They shook before the Lord, the God of Israel!
6. “In the days of Shamgar son of Anath,in the days of Jael, the main roads were empty.Travelers went on the back roads.
7. There were no warriors in Israeluntil I, Deborah, arose.I arose to be a mother to Israel.
