• Exod 15:1-9 : 1 Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the LORD, saying: 'I will sing to the LORD, for He is highly exalted; the horse and its rider He has hurled into the sea.' 2 The LORD is my strength and my song; He has become my salvation. This is my God, and I will glorify Him; the God of my father, and I will exalt Him. 3 The LORD is a warrior; the LORD is His name. 4 Pharaoh’s chariots and his army He has cast into the sea; the finest of his officers were drowned in the Red Sea. 5 The deep waters covered them; they sank to the depths like a stone. 6 Your right hand, LORD, is majestic in power. Your right hand, LORD, shatters the enemy. 7 In the greatness of Your majesty, You overthrow those who rise against You. You unleash Your burning anger; it consumes them like stubble. 8 By the blast of Your nostrils, the waters piled up; the flowing waters stood like a wall; the depths congealed in the heart of the sea. 9 The enemy said, 'I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoils; my desire will be satisfied on them. I will draw my sword; my hand will destroy them.' 10 But You blew with Your wind, and the sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters. 11 Who is like You, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like You—majestic in holiness, awesome in praises, working wonders? 12 You stretched out Your right hand, and the earth swallowed them. 13 In Your steadfast love, You led the people You redeemed; in Your strength, You guided them to Your holy dwelling. 14 The peoples have heard; they tremble; anguish has seized the inhabitants of Philistia. 15 The chiefs of Edom are dismayed; the leaders of Moab tremble; the inhabitants of Canaan melt away. 16 Terror and dread fall upon them; by the greatness of Your arm, they are still as a stone, until Your people pass by, LORD, until the people You have purchased pass by. 17 You will bring them in and plant them on the mountain of Your inheritance—the place, LORD, You made for Your dwelling, the sanctuary, Lord, Your hands established. 18 The LORD will reign forever and ever.
• Judg 5:1-9 : 1 On that day, Deborah and Barak, the son of Abinoam, sang this song: 2 When the leaders in Israel take charge, when the people willingly offer themselves—praise the Lord! 3 Listen, kings! Pay attention, rulers! I will sing to the Lord; I will make music to the Lord, the God of Israel. 4 O Lord, when You went out from Seir, when You marched from the fields of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens poured down, the clouds poured down water. 5 The mountains melted before the Lord, even Sinai, before the Lord, the God of Israel. 6 In the days of Shamgar son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were abandoned; travelers took to winding paths. 7 Village life in Israel ceased, ceased until I, Deborah, arose, a mother in Israel. 8 When they chose new gods, then war came to the city gates. Not a shield or spear was seen among forty thousand in Israel. 9 My heart is with Israel’s commanders, with the willing volunteers among the people. Praise the Lord! 10 You who ride on white donkeys, sitting on rich carpets, and you who walk along the road, think about this: 11 The voices of the archers at the watering places recount the righteous acts of the Lord, the righteous acts of His villagers in Israel. Then the people of the Lord went down to the city gates. 12 Awake, awake, Deborah! Awake, awake, sing a song! Arise, Barak! Take captive your captives, son of Abinoam. 13 Then the survivors came down to the nobles; the people of the Lord came down to me against the mighty. 14 From Ephraim came those whose roots were in Amalek; Benjamin was with the people who followed you. From Machir, commanders marched down; from Zebulun, those who wield the staff of office. 15 The princes of Issachar were with Deborah; yes, Issachar was with Barak, sent into the valley under his command. In the districts of Reuben, there was much searching of heart. 16 Why did you stay among the sheepfolds to hear the whistling for the flocks? In the districts of Reuben, there was much searching of heart. 17 Gilead stayed beyond the Jordan; and Dan, why did he linger by the ships? Asher remained on the seashore and stayed in his coves. 18 Zebulun risked his life to the point of death, and Naphtali, too, on the heights of the battlefield. 19 Kings came, they fought; the kings of Canaan fought at Taanach by the waters of Megiddo. They took no plunder of silver. 20 From the heavens the stars fought; from their courses, they fought against Sisera. 21 The river Kishon swept them away, the ancient river, the river Kishon. March on, my soul, in strength! 22 Then the hoofs of horses hammered—galloping, galloping of their mighty steeds. 23 'Curse Meroz,' said the angel of the Lord. 'Curse its inhabitants bitterly, because they did not come to help the Lord, to help the Lord against the mighty.' 24 Most blessed of women be Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, most blessed of tent-dwelling women. 25 He asked for water, and she gave him milk; in a bowl fit for nobles, she brought him curd. 26 She 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. 27 At her feet he sank, he fell, there he lay. At her feet he sank, he fell; where he sank, there he fell—dead. 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?' 29 Her wisest ladies answer her; indeed, she keeps saying to herself, 30 'Are they not finding and dividing the spoils: a girl or two for each man, colorful garments for Sisera, colorful garments embroidered, highly embroidered garments for my neck—all this as plunder?' 31 So may all Your enemies perish, O Lord! But may those who love You be like the sun when it rises in its strength. And the land was at peace for forty years.

Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, were guiding the new cart. 4 They carried the ark of God out of Abinadab’s house, which was on the hill, and Ahio walked in front of the ark. 5 David and all the house of Israel were celebrating before the LORD with all kinds of instruments made of fir wood—lyres, harps, tambourines, rattles, and cymbals. 6 When they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached out his hand to the ark of God to steady it, for the oxen had stumbled.

And all the people gave a great shout of praise to the LORD because the foundation of the LORD’s house had been laid. 12 But many of the priests, Levites, and family heads—the elderly who had seen the first temple—were weeping loudly when they saw the foundation of this temple being laid, while many others shouted for joy. 13 The people could not distinguish the sound of the joyful shouting from the sound of weeping, because the people were shouting so loudly, and the sound was heard far away.
