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.
7 Gone was freedom beyond the walls,gone indeed from Israel.When I, Deborah, arose,when I arose, a mother in Israel.
8 New gods were their choice;then war was at the gates.No shield was to be found, no spear,among forty thousand in Israel!
9 My heart is with the leaders of Israel,with the dedicated ones of the people—bless the Lord;
10 Those who ride on white donkeys,seated on saddle rugs,and those who travel the road,Sing of them
