1 Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,
2 For that the leaders took the lead in Israel, for that the people offered themselves willingly, bless ye the Lord.
3 Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing unto the Lord; I will sing praise to the Lord, the God of Israel.
4 Lord, when thou wentest forth out of Seir, when thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, the heavens also dropped, yea, the clouds dropped water.
5 The mountains flowed down at the presence of the Lord, even yon Sinai at the presence of the Lord, the God of Israel.
6 In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travellers walked through byways.
7 The rulers ceased in Israel, they ceased, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose a mother in Israel.
