Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day
That the leaders took the lead in Israel
That the people offered themselves willingly
Bless the Lord
Hear, O kings; give ear, O princes
To the Lord I will sing I will make melody to the Lord, the God of Israel
Lord, when you went out from Seir
When you marched from the region of Edom
The earth trembled
And the heavens dropped
Yes, the clouds dropped water
The mountains quaked before the Lord
Even Sinai before the Lord, the God of Israel
In the days of Shamgar, son of Anath
In the days of Jael, the highways were abandoned
And travelers kept to the byways
The villagers ceased in Israel
They ceased to be until I arose
I, Deborah, arose as a mother in Israel
When new gods were chosen
Then war was in the gates
Was shield or spear to be seen
Among forty thousand in Israel
My heart goes out to the commanders of Israel
Who offered themselves willingly among the people
Bless the Lord
Tell of it, you who ride on white donkeys
You who sit on rich carpets
And you who walk by the way
To the sound of musicians at the watering places
There they repeat the righteous triumphs of the Lord
The righteous triumphs of his villagers in Israel
Then down to the gates marched the people of the Lord
Awake, awake, O Deborah
Awake, awake, break out in a song
Arise, Barak, lead away your captives
O son of Abinoam
Then down marched the remnant of the noble
The people of the Lord marched down for me against the mighty
From Ephraim their root they marched down into the valley
Following you, Benjamin, with your kinsmen
From Machir marched down the commanders
And from Zebulun those who bear the lieutenant's staff
The princes of Issachar came with Deborah
And Issachar faithful to Barak
Into the valley they rushed at his heels
Awake, awake, O Deborah
Awake, awake, break out in a song
Arise, Barak, lead away your captives
O son of Abinoam
Among the clans of Reuben
There were great searchings of heart
Why did you sit still among the sheepfolds
To hear the whistling for the flocks
Among the clans of Reuben
There were great searchings of heart
Gilead stayed beyond the Jordan
And Dan, why did he stay with the ships
Asher sat still at the coast of the sea
Staying by his landings
Zebulun is a people who risked their lives to the death
Naphtali, too, on the heights of the field
The kings came, they fought
Then fought the kings of Canaan
At Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo
They got no spoils of silver
From heaven the stars fought
From their courses they fought against Sisera
The torrent Kishon swept them away
The ancient torrent, the torrent Kishon
March on, my soul, with might
Then loud beat the horses' hoofs
With the galloping, galloping of his steeds
Awake, awake, O Deborah
Awake, awake, break out in a song
Arise, Barak, lead away your captives
O son of Abinoam
Curse Meroz, says the angel of the Lord
Curse its inhabitants thoroughly
Because they did not come to the help of the Lord
To the help of the Lord against the mighty
Most blessed of women be Jael
The wife of Heber the Kenite
Of tent-dwelling women most blessed
He asked for water and she gave him milk
She brought him curds in a noble's bowl
She sent her hand to the tent peg
And her right hand to the workmen's mallet
She struck Sisera
She crushed his head
She shattered and pierced his temple
Between her feet
He sank, he fell, he lay still
Between her feet
He sank, he fell
Where he sank
There he fell-dead
Awake, awake, O Deborah
Awake, awake, break out in a song
Arise, Barak, lead away your captives
O son of Abinoam
So may all your enemies perish, O Lord
But your friends be like the sun as he rises in his might
Awake, awake, O Deborah
Awake, awake, break out in a song
Arise, Barak, lead away your captives
O son of Abinoam
May all your enemies perish, O Lord
But your friends be like the sun as he rises in his might
