Judges 5:1-7 ▼

1 Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying:

2 When men let grow their hair in Israel, When the people offer themselves willingly, Bless ye the LORD.

3 Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, unto the LORD will I sing; I will sing praise to the LORD, the God of Israel.

4 LORD, when Thou didst go forth out of Seir, When Thou didst march out of the field of Edom, The earth trembled, the heavens also dropped, Yea, the clouds dropped water.

5 The mountains quaked at the presence of the LORD, Even yon Sinai at the presence of the LORD, the God of Israel.

6 In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, In the days of Jael, the highways ceased, And the travellers walked through byways.

7 The rulers ceased in Israel, they ceased, Until that thou didst arise, Deborah, That thou didst arise a mother in Israel.
