Judges 5:1-7 ▼

1 And Deborah and Barak son of Abinoam sang on that day, saying,

2 “When leaders lead in Israel, when the people willingly offer themselves, bless YHWH.

3 Hear, O kings; give ear, O princes; I to YHWH, I will sing. I will sing to YHWH, God of Israel.

4 O YHWH, when You went out from Seir, when You marched from the field of Edom, the earth trembled and the heavens poured down; also the clouds poured down water.

5 The mountains flowed before YHWH, this one—Sinai—before the face of YHWH, God of Israel.

6 In the days of Shamgar son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were deserted, and the travelers walked the crooked ways.

7 Village life ceased, in Israel it ceased, until I arose—Deborah Arose—a mother in Israel.
