51The mountainsH2022 2quakedH5140 at the presenceH6440 of the LordH3068, 3ThisH2088 SinaiH5514, at the presenceH6440 of the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
6“In the daysH3117 of 4ShamgarH8044 the sonH1121 of AnathH6067, In the daysH3117 of 5JaelH3278, the highwaysH734 6were desertedH2308, And travelersH1980H5410 7wentH1980 by 8roundaboutH6128 waysH734.7The peasantryH6520 ceasedH2308, they ceasedH2308 in IsraelH3478, UntilH5704 I, DeborahH1683, aroseH6965, Until I aroseH6965, a motherH517 in IsraelH3478.89NewH2319 godsH430 were chosenH977; ThenH227 warH3901 was in the gatesH8179. Not a shieldH4043 or a spearH7420 was seenH7200 Among fortyH705 thousandH505 in IsraelH3478.9My heartH3820 goes out to 10the commandersH2710 of IsraelH3478, The volunteersH5068 among the peopleH5971; BlessH1288 the LordH3068!1011You who rideH7392 on 12whiteH6715 donkeysH860, You who sitH3427 on rich carpetsH4055, And you who travelH1980 on the roadH1870--13singH7878!11At the soundH6963 of those who divideH2686 flocks amongH996 14the wateringH4857 placesH4857, ThereH8033 they shall recountH8567 15the righteousH6666 deedsH6666 of the LordH3068, The righteousH6666 deedsH6666 for His 16peasantryH6520 in IsraelH3478. ThenH227 the peopleH5971 of the LordH3068 wentH3381 downH3381 17to the gatesH8179.
12“18AwakeH5782, awakeH5782, DeborahH1683; AwakeH5782, awakeH5782, 19singH1696 a songH7892! AriseH6965, BarakH1301, and 20takeH7617 away your captivesH7628, O sonH1121 of AbinoamH42.13ThenH227 survivorsH8300 cameH3381 downH3381 to the noblesH117; The peopleH5971 of the LordH3068 cameH3381 downH3381 to me as warriorsH1368.14From EphraimH669 those whose rootH8328 is 21in AmalekH6002 came down, FollowingH310 you, BenjaminH1144, with your peoplesH5971; From MachirH4353 commandersH2710 cameH3381 downH3381, And from ZebulunH2074 those who wieldH4900 the staffH7626 of 22officeH5613.15And the 23princesH8269 of IssacharH3485 were with DeborahH1683; As was IssacharH3485, soH3651 was BarakH1301; Into the valleyH6010 they rushedH7971 24at his 25heelsH7272; Among the divisionsH6390 of ReubenH7205 There were greatH1419 resolvesH2706 of heartH3820.16WhyH4100 did you sitH3427 amongH996 26the 27sheepfoldsH4942, To hearH8085 the pipingH8292 for the flocksH5739? Among the divisionsH6390 of ReubenH7205 There were greatH1419 searchingsH2714 of heartH3820.1728GileadH1568 29remainedH7931 acrossH5676 the JordanH3383; And whyH4100 did DanH1835 stayH1481 in shipsH591? AsherH836 satH3427 at the seashoreH3220H2348, And 30remainedH7931 by its landingsH4664.
