1 On that day Deborah sang this song—and Barak, son of Abinoam:
2 When uprising broke out in Israel,when the people rallied for duty—bless the Lord!
3 Hear, O kings! Give ear, O princes!I will sing, I will sing to the Lord,I will make music to the Lord, the God of Israel.
4 Lord, when you went out from Seir,when you marched from the plains of Edom,The earth shook, the heavens poured,the clouds poured rain,
5 The mountains streamed,before the Lord, the One of Sinai,before the Lord, the God of Israel.
6 In the days of Shamgar, son of Anath,in the days of Jael, caravans ceased:Those who traveled the roadsnow traveled by roundabout paths.
