1. On that day Deborah and Barak son of Abinoam sang this song:
2. Praise the Lord!The Israelites were determined to fight;the people gladly volunteered.
3. Listen, you kings!Pay attention, you rulers!I will sing, I will play musicto Israel's God, the Lord.
4. Lord, when you left the mountains of Seir,when you came out of the region of Edom,the earth shook, and rain fell from the sky.Yes, water poured down from the clouds.
5. The mountains quaked before the Lord of Sinai,before the Lord, the God of Israel.
6. In the days of Shamgar son of Anath,in the days of Jael,caravans no longer went through the land,and travellers used the side roads.
7. The towns of Israel stood abandoned, Deborah;they stood empty until you came,came like a mother for Israel.
