9 My heart is with the rulers of IsraelWho offered themselves willingly with the people.Bless the Lord!
10 “Speak, you who ride on white donkeys,Who sit in judges’ attire,And who walk along the road.
11 Far from the noise of the archers, among the watering places,There they shall recount the righteous acts of the Lord,The righteous acts for His villagers in Israel;Then the people of the Lord shall go down to the gates.
12 “Awake, awake, Deborah!Awake, awake, sing a song!Arise, Barak, and lead your captives away,O son of Abinoam!
13 “Then the survivors came down, the people against the nobles;The Lord came down for me against the mighty.
14 From Ephraim were those whose roots were in Amalek.After you, Benjamin, with your peoples,From Machir rulers came down,And from Zebulun those who bear the recruiter’s staff.
15 And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah;As Issachar, so was BarakSent into the valley under his command;Among the divisions of ReubenThere were great resolves of heart.
