3 Listen, kings! Pay attention, princes!I will sing to the Lord;I will sing praise to the Lord God of Israel.
4 Lord, when You came from Seir, when You marched from the fields of Edom,the earth trembled, the heavens poured rain,and the clouds poured water.
5 The mountains melted before the Lord,even Sinai before the Lord, the God of Israel.
6 In the days of Shamgar son of Anath,in the days of Jael, the main ways were desertedbecause travelers kept to the side roads.
7 Villages were deserted, they were deserted in Israel,until I, Deborah, arose,a mother in Israel.
8 Israel chose new gods,then war was in the gates.Not a shield or spear was seenamong 40,000 in Israel.
9 My heart is with the leaders of Israel,with the volunteers of the people.Praise the Lord!
