Shofetim 5:4-13 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

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.

11. The voice of the singers in the place of drawing mayim, there shall they rehearse the Tzidkot Hashem, even the Tzidkot of His warriors in Yisroel; then shall HaAm Hashem go down to the she'arim.

12. Awake, awake, Devorah; awake, awake, break out in song; arise, Barak, and lead captive thy captives, thou ben Avinoam.

13. Then came down a sarid (remnant) to the nobles; the people of Hashem came down to me as gibborim.
