Judges 5:2-9

2PraiseH1288 ye YhwhH3068 for the avengingH6546H6544 of IsraelH3478, when the peopleH5971 willingly offeredH5068 themselves.

3HearH8085, O ye kingsH4428; give earH238, O ye princesH7336; I, even I, will singH7891 unto YhwhH3068; I will singH2167 praise to YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478.

4YhwhH3068, when thou wentest outH3318 of SeirH8165, when thou marchedst outH6805 of the fieldH7704 of EdomH123, the earthH776 trembledH7493, and the heavensH8064 droppedH5197, the cloudsH5645 also droppedH5197 waterH4325.

5The mountainsH2022 meltedH5140 from beforeH6440 YhwhH3068, even that SinaiH5514 from beforeH6440 YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478.1

6In the daysH3117 of ShamgarH8044 the sonH1121 of AnathH6067, in the daysH3117 of JaelH3278, the highwaysH734 were unoccupiedH2308, and the travellersH1980 walkedH3212 through bywaysH5410H6128.23

7The inhabitants of the villagesH6520 ceasedH2308, they ceasedH2308 in IsraelH3478, until that I DeborahH1683 aroseH6965, that I aroseH6965 a motherH517 in IsraelH3478.

8They choseH977 newH2319 godsH430; then was warH3901 in the gatesH8179: was there a shieldH4043 or spearH7420 seenH7200 among fortyH705 thousandH505 in IsraelH3478?

9My heartH3820 is toward the governorsH2710 of IsraelH3478, that offered themselves willinglyH5068 among the peopleH5971. BlessH1288 ye YhwhH3068.
