Shofetim 5:1-10 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

1. Then sang Devorah and Barak ben Avinoam on that day, saying,

2. Barachu Hashem that the strong in Yisroel put forth strength, that the people willingly offered themselves.

3. Hear, O ye melachim; give ear, O ye rozenim (princes); I, even I, will sing unto Hashem; I will make music to Hashem Elohei Yisroel.

4. Hashem, when Thou wentest out from Seir, when Thou marchedst out of the sadeh Edom, Eretz trembled, HaShomayim poured, clouds also poured down mayim.

5. The harim quaked at the presence of Hashem, this Sinai before Hashem Elohei Yisroel.

6. In the days of Shamgar ben Anat, in the days of Yael, the roads were abandoned, and the travellers walked the byways.

7. The warrior ceased, they ceased in Yisroel, until I, Devorah, arose, I Em B'Yisroel arose.

8. They chose elohim chadashim when war was at the she'arim (gates); was there a mogen or spear to be seen among forty thousand in Yisroel?

9. My lev is toward the ones ruling in Yisroel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Barachu Hashem.

10. Reflect, ye that ride on white donkeys, ye that sit on saddle blankets, and walk on the derech.
