Judges 5:1-7 ▼

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

2 “When the leaders led in Israel, When the people volunteered, Bless Yahweh!

3 Hear, O kings; give ear, O rulers! As for me, to Yahweh, I will sing; I will sing praise to Yahweh, the God of Israel.

4 O Yahweh, when You went out from Seir, When You marched from the field of Edom, The earth quaked, the heavens also dripped, Even the clouds dripped water.

5 The mountains flowed at the presence of Yahweh, This Sinai, at the presence of Yahweh, the God of Israel.

6 “In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, In the days of Jael, the paths had ceased, So travelers went by roundabout paths.

7 The peasantry ceased; they ceased in Israel, Until I, Deborah, arose, Until I arose, a mother in Israel.
