4 Yahweh, when you went down from Seir, when you marched from the region of Edom, the earth trembled, the heavens poured down, the clouds poured down water.
5 The mountains trembled before Yahweh, this Sinai, at the presence of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
6 “In the days of Shamgar son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the caravans had ceased, the travelers, they kept to the byways.
7 The warriors ceased; they failed to appear in Israel, until I, Deborah, arose; I arose as a mother in Israel.
8 God chose new leaders, then war was at the gates; a small shield or a spear was not seen among forty thousand in Israel.
9 My heart goes out to the commanders of Israel, those offering themselves willingly among the people; bless Yahweh!
10 The riders of white female donkeys, those sitting on saddle blankets, and those going on the way, talk about it!
