5On that day Deborah and Barak son of Abinoam sang this song:H7891H1683H1301H1121H42H3117H559 2"When the princes in Israel take the lead, when the people willingly offer themselves--praise the LORD!H1288H3068H6544H6546H3478H5971H5068 3"Hear this, you kings! Listen, you rulers! I will sing to the LORD, I will sing; I will make music to the LORD, the God of Israel.H8085H4428H238H7336H7891H3068H2167H3068H430H3478 4"O LORD, when you went out from Seir, when you marched from the land of Edom, the earth shook, the heavens poured, the clouds poured down water.H3068H3318H8165H6805H7704H123H776H7493H8064H5197H5645H5197H4325 5The mountains quaked before the LORD, the One of Sinai, before the LORD, the God of Israel.H2022H5140H6440H3068H5514H6440H3068H430H3478 6"In the days of Shamgar son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the roads were abandoned; travelers took to winding paths.H3117H8044H1121H6067H3117H3278H734H2308H1980H3212H6128H5410 7Village life in Israel ceased, ceased until I, Deborah, arose, arose a mother in Israel.H6520H2308H2308H3478H1683H6965H6965H517H3478 8When they chose new gods, war came to the city gates, and not a shield or spear was seen among forty thousand in Israel.H977H2319H430H3901H8179H4043H7420H7200H705H505H3478 9My heart is with Israel's princes, with the willing volunteers among the people. Praise the LORD!H3820H2710H3478H5068H5971H1288H3068 10"You who ride on white donkeys, sitting on your saddle blankets, and you who walk along the road, considerH7878H7392H6715H860H3427H4055H1980H1870 11the voice of the singers at the watering places. They recite the righteous acts of the LORD, the righteous acts of his warriors in Israel. "Then the people of the LORD went down to the city gates.H6963H2686H4857H8567H6666H3068H6666H6520H3478H5971H3068H3381H8179 12'Wake up, wake up, Deborah! Wake up, wake up, break out in song! Arise, O Barak! Take captive your captives, O son of Abinoam.'H5782H5782H1683H5782H5782H1696H7892H6965H1301H7628H7617H1121H42 13"Then the men who were left came down to the nobles; the people of the LORD came to me with the mighty.H8300H7287H117H5971H3068H7287H1368 14Some came from Ephraim, whose roots were in Amalek; Benjamin was with the people who followed you. From Makir captains came down, from Zebulun those who bear a commander's staff.H669H8328H6002H310H1144H5971H4353H3381H2710H2074H4900H7626H5608 15The princes of Issachar were with Deborah; yes, Issachar was with Barak, rushing after him into the valley. In the districts of Reuben there was much searching of heart.H8269H3485H1683H3485H1301H7971H7272H6010H6390H7205H1419H2711H3820 16Why did you stay among the campfires to hear the whistling for the flocks? In the districts of Reuben there was much searching of heart.H3427H996H4942H8085H8292H5739H6390H7205H1419H2714H3820 17Gilead stayed beyond the Jordan. And Dan, why did he linger by the ships? Asher remained on the coast and stayed in his coves.H1568H7931H5676H3383H1835H1481H591H836H3427H3220H2348H7931H4664 18The people of Zebulun risked their very lives; so did Naphtali on the heights of the field.H2074H5321H5971H2778H5315H4191H4791H7704 19"Kings came, they fought; the kings of Canaan fought at Taanach by the waters of Megiddo, but they carried off no silver, no plunder.H4428H935H3898H3898H4428H3667H8590H4325H4023H3947H1215H3701 20From the heavens the stars fought, from their courses they fought against Sisera.H3898H8064H3556H4546H3898H5516 21The river Kishon swept them away, the age-old river, the river Kishon. March on, my soul; be strong!H5158H7028H1640H6917H5158H5158H7028H5315H1869H5797 22Then thundered the horses' hoofs--galloping, galloping go his mighty steeds.H6119H5483H1986H1726H1726H47 23'Curse Meroz,' said the angel of the LORD. 'Curse its people bitterly, because they did not come to help the LORD, to help the LORD against the mighty.'H779H4789H559H4397H3068H779H779H3427H935H5833H3068H5833H3068H1368 24"Most blessed of women be Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, most blessed of tent-dwelling women.H1288H802H3278H802H2268H7017H1288H802H168 25He asked for water, and she gave him milk; in a bowl fit for nobles she brought him curdled milk.H7592H4325H5414H2461H7126H2529H117H5602 26Her hand reached for the tent peg, her right hand for the workman's hammer. She struck Sisera, she crushed his head, she shattered and pierced his temple.H7971H3027H3489H3225H6001H1989H1986H5516H4277H7218H4272H2498H7541 27At her feet he sank, he fell; there he lay. At her feet he sank, he fell; where he sank, there he fell--dead.H7272H3766H5307H7901H7272H3766H5307H834H3766H5307H7703 28"Through the window peered Sisera's mother; behind the lattice she cried out, 'Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why is the clatter of his chariots delayed?'H517H5516H8259H2474H2980H822H7393H954H935H309H6471H4818 29The wisest of her ladies answer her; indeed, she keeps saying to herself,H2450H8282H6030H7725H561 30'Are they not finding and dividing the spoils: a girl or two for each man, colorful garments as plunder for Sisera, colorful garments embroidered, highly embroidered garments for my neck--all this as plunder?'H4672H2505H7998H7218H1397H7356H7361H5516H7998H6648H7998H6648H7553H6648H7553H6677H7998 31"So may all your enemies perish, O LORD! But may they who love you be like the sun when it rises in its strength." Then the land had peace forty years.H341H6H3068H157H8121H3318H1369H776H8252H705H8141
