1. Then sang Deborah and Barak, the son of Abinoam, on that day, saying,
2. For that leaders led in Israel, For that the people willingly offered themselves, Bless Jehovah!
3. Hear, ye kings; give ear, ye princes, I, even I, will sing to Jehovah; I will hymn to Jehovah the God of Israel.
4. Jehovah, when thou wentest forth from Seir, When thou marchedst out of the fields of Edom, The earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, Yea, the clouds dropped water.
5. The mountains quaked before the face of Jehovah, That Sinai, from before Jehovah the God of Israel.
6. In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, The roads were unused, and the travellers on highways went by crooked paths.
7. The villages ceased in Israel, 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, who offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless Jehovah!
10. Ye that ride on white she-asses, ye that sit on carpets, and ye that walk by the way, consider.
