Judges 5:3-11

3Listen, kings! Pay attention, princes! I will sing to the Lord; I will sing praise to the Lord God of Israel.

4Lord, when you came from Seir, when you marched from the fields of Edom, the earth trembled, the skies poured rain, and the clouds poured water.

5The mountains melted before the Lord, even Sinai, before the Lord, the God of Israel.

6In the days of Shamgar son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the main roads were deserted because travelers kept to the side roads.

7Villages were deserted, they were deserted in Israel, until I, Deborah, arose, a mother in Israel.

8Israel chose new gods, then there was war in the city gates. Not a shield or spear was seen among forty thousand in Israel.

9My heart is with the leaders of Israel, with the volunteers of the people. Blessed be the Lord!

10You who ride on white donkeys, who sit on saddle blankets, and who travel on the road, give praise!

11Let them tell the righteous acts of the Lord, the righteous deeds of his villagers in Israel, with the voices of the singers at the watering places. Then the Lord’s people went down to the city gates.
