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
