1 On that day Deborah and Barak son of Abinoam sang this song:
2 ‘When the princes in Israel take the lead,when the people willingly offer themselves –praise the Lord!
3 ‘Hear this, you kings! Listen, you rulers!I, even I, will sing to the Lord;I will praise the Lord, the God of Israel, in song.
4 ‘When you, Lord, went out from Seir,when you marched from the land of Edom,the earth shook, the heavens poured,the clouds poured down water.
5 The mountains quaked 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, the highways were abandoned;travellers took to winding paths.
