1 On the day that the Israelites defeated Sisera, Deborah and Barak son of Abinoam sang this song:
2 “The men of Israel prepared for battle. They volunteered to go to war. Praise the Lord!
3 “Listen, kings. Pay attention, rulers. I will sing. I myself will sing to the Lord. I will make music to the Lord, to the God of the Israelites.
4 “Lord, in the past you came from Seir. You marched from the land of Edom. You marched and the earth shook. The skies rained. The clouds dropped water.
5 The mountains shook before the Lord, the God of Mount Sinai, before the Lord, the God of Israel!
