1 On that day Deborah and Barak son of Abinoam sang this victory song:
2 “When the leaders took the lead in Israel,When the people answered the call to war – Praise the Lord!
3 Hear, O kings!Pay attention, O rulers!I will sing to the Lord!I will sing to the Lord God of Israel!
4 O Lord, when you departed from Seir,when you marched from Edom’s plains,the earth shook, the heavens poured down,the clouds poured down rain.
5 The mountains trembled before the Lord, the God of Sinai;before the Lord God of Israel.
6 In the days of Shamgar son of Anath,in the days of Jael caravans disappeared;travelers had to go on winding side roads.
7 Warriors were scarce,they were scarce in Israel,until you arose, Deborah,until you arose as a motherly protector in Israel.
