Then sang{H7891} Deborah{H1683} and Barak{H1301} the son{H1121} of Abinoam{H42} on that day,{H3117} saying,{H559}

For that the leaders took the lead{H6544} in Israel,{H3478} For that the people{H5971} offered{H5068} themselves willingly, Bless{H1288} ye Jehovah.{H3068}

Hear,{H8085} O ye kings;{H4428} give ear,{H238} O ye princes;{H7336} I, [even] I, will sing{H7891} unto Jehovah;{H3068} I will sing{H2167} praise to Jehovah,{H3068} the God{H430} of Israel.{H3478}

Jehovah,{H3068} when thou wentest forth{H3318} out of Seir,{H8165} When thou marchedst out{H6805} of the field{H7704} of Edom,{H123} The earth{H776} trembled,{H7493} the heavens{H8064} also dropped,{H5197} Yea, the clouds{H5645} dropped{H5197} water.{H4325}

The mountains{H2022} quaked{H5140} at the presence{H6440} of Jehovah,{H3068} Even yon Sinai{H5514} at the presence{H6440} of Jehovah,{H3068} the God{H430} of Israel.{H3478}

In the days{H3117} of Shamgar{H8044} the son{H1121} of Anath,{H6067} In the days{H3117} of Jael,{H3278} the highways{H734} were unoccupied,{H2308} And the travellers{H1980} walked{H3212} through byways.{H6128}

The rulers{H6520} ceased{H2308} in Israel,{H3478} they ceased,{H2308} Until that I Deborah{H1683} arose,{H6965} That I arose{H6965} a mother{H517} in Israel.{H3478}

They chose{H977} new{H2319} gods;{H430} Then was war{H3901} in the gates:{H8179} Was there a shield{H4043} or spear{H7420} seen{H7200} Among forty{H705} thousand{H505} in Israel?{H3478}

My heart{H3820} is toward the governors{H2710} of Israel,{H3478} That offered themselves willingly{H5068} among the people:{H5971} Bless{H1288} ye Jehovah.{H3068}

Tell{H7878} [of it], ye that ride{H7392} on white{H6715} asses,{H860} Ye that sit{H3427} on rich carpets,{H4055} And ye that walk{H1980} by the way.{H1870}

Far from the noise{H6963} of archers,{H2686} in the places of drawing water,{H4857} There shall they rehearse{H8567} the righteous acts{H6666} of Jehovah,{H3068} [Even] the righteous acts{H6666} of his rule{H6520} in Israel.{H3478} Then the people{H5971} of Jehovah{H3068} went down{H3381} to the gates.{H8179}

Awake,{H5782} awake,{H5782} Deborah;{H1683} Awake,{H5782} awake,{H5782} utter{H1696} a song:{H7892} Arise,{H6965} Barak,{H1301} and lead away thy{H7628} captives,{H7617} thou son{H1121} of Abinoam.{H42}

Then came down a remnant{H8300} of the nobles{H117} [and] the people;{H5971} Jehovah{H3068} came down for me against{H7287} the mighty.{H1368}

Out of Ephraim{H669} [came down] they whose root{H8328} is in Amalek;{H6002} After{H310} thee, Benjamin,{H1144} among thy peoples;{H5971} Out of Machir{H4353} came down{H3381} governors,{H2710} And out of Zebulun{H2074} they that handle{H4900} the marshal's{H5608} staff.{H7626}

And the princes{H8269} of Issachar{H3485} were with Deborah;{H1683} As was Issachar,{H3485} so was Barak;{H1301} Into the valley{H6010} they rushed{H7971} forth at his feet.{H7272} By the watercourses{H6390} of Reuben{H7205} There were great{H1419} resolves{H2711} of heart.{H3820}

Why sattest{H3427} thou among{H996} the sheepfolds,{H4942} To hear{H8085} the pipings{H8292} for the flocks?{H5739} At the watercourses{H6390} of Reuben{H7205} There were great{H1419} searchings{H2714} of heart.{H3820}

Gilead{H1568} abode{H7931} beyond{H5676} the Jordan:{H3383} And Dan,{H1835} why did he remain{H1481} in ships?{H591} Asher{H836} sat still{H3427} at the haven{H2348} of the sea,{H3220} And abode{H7931} by his creeks.{H4664}

Zebulun{H2074} was a people{H5971} that jeoparded{H2778} their lives{H5315} unto the death,{H4191} And Naphtali,{H5321} upon the high places{H4791} of the field.{H7704}

The kings{H4428} came{H935} and fought;{H3898} Then fought{H3898} the kings{H4428} of Canaan.{H3667} In Taanach{H8590} by the waters{H4325} of Megiddo:{H4023} They took{H3947} no gain{H1215} of money.{H3701}

From heaven{H8064} fought{H3898} the stars,{H3556} From their courses{H4546} they fought{H3898} against Sisera.{H5516}

The river{H5158} Kishon{H7028} swept them away,{H1640} That ancient{H6917} river,{H5158} the river{H5158} Kishon.{H7028} O my soul,{H5315} march on{H1869} with strength.{H5797}

Then did the horsehoofs{H6119} stamp{H1986} By reason of the prancings,{H1726} the prancings{H1726} of their strong ones.{H47}

Curse{H779} ye Meroz,{H4789} said{H559} the angel{H4397} of Jehovah.{H3068} Curse{H779} ye bitterly{H779} the inhabitants{H3427} thereof, Because they came{H935} not to the help{H5833} of Jehovah,{H3068} To the help{H5833} of Jehovah{H3068} against the mighty.{H1368}

Blessed{H1288} above women{H802} shall Jael{H3278} be, The wife{H802} of Heber{H2268} the Kenite;{H7017} Blessed{H1288} shall she be above women{H802} in the tent.{H168}

He asked{H7592} water,{H4325} and she gave{H5414} him milk;{H2461} She brought him{H7126} butter{H2529} in a lordly{H117} dish.{H5602}

She put{H7971} her hand{H3027} to the tent-pin,{H3489} And her right hand{H3225} to the workmen's{H6001} hammer;{H1989} And with the hammer she smote{H1986} Sisera,{H5516} she smote through{H4277} his head;{H7218} Yea, she pierced{H4272} and struck through{H2498} his temples.{H7541}

At her feet{H7272} he bowed,{H3766} he fell,{H5307} he lay;{H7901} At her feet{H7272} he bowed,{H3766} he fell;{H5307} Where{H834} he bowed,{H3766} there he fell down{H5307} dead.{H7703}

Through the window{H2474} she looked{H8259} forth, and cried,{H2980} The mother{H517} of Sisera cried{H2980} through the lattice,{H822} Why is his chariot{H7393} so long{H954} in coming?{H935} Why tarry{H309} the wheels{H6471} of his chariots?{H4818}

Her wise{H2450} ladies{H8282} answered{H6030} her, Yea, she returned{H7725} answer{H561} to herself,

Have they not found,{H4672} have they not divided{H2505} the spoil?{H7998} A damsel,{H7356} two{H7361} damsels to every{H7218} man;{H1397} To Sisera{H5516} a spoil{H7998} of dyed{H6648} garments, A spoil{H7998} of dyed{H6648} garments embroidered,{H7553} Of dyed{H6648} garments embroidered on both sides,{H7553} on the necks{H6677} of the spoil?{H7998}

So let all thine enemies{H341} perish,{H6} O Jehovah:{H3068} But let them that love{H157} him be as the sun{H8121} when he goeth forth{H3318} in his might.{H1369} And the land{H776} had rest{H8252} forty{H705} years.{H8141}
