1Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,
2For that the leaders took the lead in Israel,
3Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes;
4Jehovah, when thou wentest forth out of Seir,
5The mountains quaked at the presence of Jehovah,
6In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath,
7The rulers ceased in Israel, they ceased,
8They chose new gods;
9My heart is toward the governors of Israel,
10Tell of it, ye that ride on white asses,
11Far from the noise of archers, in the places of drawing water,
12Awake, awake, Deborah;
13Then came down a remnant of the nobles and the people;
14Out of Ephraim came down they whose root is in Amalek;
15And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah;
16Why sattest thou among the sheepfolds,
17Gilead abode beyond the Jordan:
18Zebulun was a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death,
19The kings came and fought;
20From heaven fought the stars,
21The river Kishon swept them away,
22Then did the horsehoofs stamp
23Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of Jehovah.
24Blessed above women shall Jael be,
25He asked water, and she gave him milk;
26She put her hand to the tent-pin,
27At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay;
28Through the window she looked forth, and cried,
29Her wise ladies answered her,
30Have they not found, have they not divided the spoil?
31So let all thine enemies perish, O Jehovah:
