3 “Hear, O kings! Give ear, O princes!I, even I, will sing to the Lord;I will sing praise to the Lord God of Israel.
4 “Lord, when You went out from Seir,When You marched from the field of Edom,The earth trembled and the heavens poured,The clouds also poured water;
5 The mountains gushed before the Lord,This Sinai, before the Lord God of Israel.
6 “In the days of Shamgar, son of Anath,In the days of Jael,The highways were deserted,And the travelers walked along the byways.
7 Village life ceased, it ceased in Israel,Until I, Deborah, arose,Arose a mother in Israel.
8 They chose new gods;Then there was war in the gates;Not a shield or spear was seen among forty thousand in Israel.
9 My heart is with the rulers of IsraelWho offered themselves willingly with the people.Bless the Lord!
