1 After the battle was over that day, Deborah and Barak sang this song:
2 We praise you, Lord!Our soldiers volunteered,ready to follow you.
3 Listen, kings and rulers,while I sing for the Lord,the God of Israel.
4-5 Our Lord, God of Israel,when you came from Seir,where the Edomites live,rain poured from the sky,the earth trembled,and mountains shook.
6 In the time of Shamgarson of Anath,and now again in Jael's time,roads were too dangerousfor caravans.Travellers had to takethe back roads,
7 and villagers couldn't workin their fields.Then Deborah took command,protecting Israel as a motherprotects her children.
