Then sang
Deborah
and Barak
the son
of Abinoam
on that day,
saying,
Praise
ye the LORD
for the avenging
of Israel,
when the people
willingly offered
themselves.
Hear,
O ye kings;
give ear,
O ye princes;
I, even I, will sing
unto the LORD;
I will sing
praise to the LORD
God
of Israel.
LORD,
when thou wentest out
of Seir,
when thou marchedst out
of the field
of Edom,
the earth
trembled,
and the heavens
dropped,
the clouds
also dropped
water.

The mountains
melted
from before
the LORD,
even that Sinai
from before
the LORD
God
of Israel.
In the days
of Shamgar
the son
of Anath,
in the days
of Jael,
the highways
were unoccupied,
and the travellers
walked
through byways.
The inhabitants of the villages
ceased,
they ceased
in Israel,
until that I Deborah
arose,
that I arose
a mother
in Israel.
They chose
new
gods;
then was war
in the gates:
was there a shield
or spear
seen
among forty
thousand
in Israel?
My heart
is toward the governors
of Israel,
that offered themselves willingly
among the people.
Bless
ye the LORD.
Speak,
ye that ride
on white
asses,
ye that sit
in judgment,
and walk
by the way.
They that are delivered from the noise
of archers
in the places of drawing water,
there shall they rehearse
the righteous acts
of the LORD,
even the righteous acts
toward the inhabitants of his villages
in Israel:
then shall the people
of the LORD
go down
to the gates.

arise,

and lead thy captivity
captive,
thou son
of Abinoam.

Then he made him that remaineth

among the people:
the LORD
made me have dominion
over the mighty.
Out of Ephraim
was there a root
of them against Amalek;
after
thee, Benjamin,
among thy people;
out of Machir
came down
governors,
and out of Zebulun
they that handle
the pen
of the writer.

And the princes
of Issachar
were with Deborah;
even Issachar,
and also Barak:
he was sent
on foot
into the valley.
For the divisions
of Reuben
there were great
thoughts
of heart.

For the divisions
of Reuben
there were great
searchings
of heart.

The kings
came

by the waters
of Megiddo;
they took

They fought
from heaven;

fought

The river

swept them away,
that ancient
river,
the river
Kishon.
O my soul,
thou hast trodden down
strength.
Then were the horsehoofs
broken
by the means of the pransings,
the pransings
of their mighty ones.
Curse
ye Meroz,
said
the angel
of the LORD,
curse
ye bitterly
the inhabitants
thereof; because they came
not to the help
of the LORD,
to the help
of the LORD
against the mighty.

She put

and with the hammer she smote
Sisera,
she smote off
his head,
when she had pierced
and stricken through
