Judges 5
Revised Version 1895
1Then sangH7891 DeborahH1683 and BarakH1301 the sonH1121 of AbinoamH42 on that dayH3117, sayingH559, 2For that the leadersH5068 took the lead in IsraelH3478, for that the peopleH5971 offeredH5068 themselves willinglyH5068, blessH1288 ye the LORDH3068. 3HearH8085, O ye kingsH4428; giveH238 earH238, O ye princes; I, even I, will singH2167 unto the LORDH3068; I will singH2167 praiseH2167 to the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478. 4LORDH3068, when thou wentest forthH3318 outH3318 of SeirH8165, when thou marchedst outH3318 of the fieldH7704 of EdomH123, the earthH776 trembled, the heavensH8064 also droppedH5197, yea, the cloudsH5645 droppedH5197 waterH4325. 5The mountainsH2022 flowed downH5140 at the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068, even yon SinaiH5514 at the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478. 6In the daysH3117 of ShamgarH8044 the sonH1121 of AnathH6067, in the daysH3117 of JaelH3278, the highwaysH734 were unoccupied, and the travellers walkedH1980 throughH1980 byways. 7The rulers ceasedH2308 in IsraelH3478, they ceasedH2308, untilH5704 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 governors of IsraelH3478, that offeredH5068 themselves willinglyH5068 among the peopleH5971: blessH1288 ye the LORDH3068. 10Tell of it, ye that rideH7392 on whiteH6715 asses, ye that sitH3427 on rich carpetsH4055, and ye that walkH1980 by the wayH1870. 11Far from the noiseH6963 of archers, in the placesH4857 of drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteousH6666 actsH6666 of the LORDH3068, even the righteousH6666 actsH6666 of his rule in IsraelH3478. Then the peopleH5971 of the LORDH3068 wentH3381 downH3381 to the gatesH8179. 12AwakeH5782, awakeH5782, DeborahH1683; awakeH5782, awakeH5782, utterH1696 a songH7892: ariseH6965, BarakH1301, and lead thy captivityH7628 captiveH7617, thou sonH1121 of AbinoamH42. 13Then came down a remnantH8300 of the noblesH117 and the peopleH5971; the LORDH3068 came down for me against the mightyH1368. 14OutH4480 of EphraimH669 cameH3381 downH3381 they whoseH669 rootH8328 is in AmalekH6002; afterH310 thee, BenjaminH1144, among thy peoplesH5971; outH4480 of MachirH4353 cameH3381 downH3381 governors, and outH4480 of ZebulunH2074 they that handle the marshal’s staffH7626. 15And the princesH8269 of IssacharH3485 were with DeborahH1683; as was IssacharH3485, soH3651 was BarakH1301; into the valleyH6010 they rushedH7971 forthH7971 at his feetH7272. By the watercourses of ReubenH7205 there were greatH1419 resolves of heartH3820. 16WhyH4100 satest thou among the sheepfoldsH4942, to hearH8085 the pipings for the flocksH5739? At the watercourses of ReubenH7205 there were greatH1419 searchingsH2714 of heartH3820. 17GileadH1568 abodeH3427 beyondH5676 JordanH3383: and DanH1835, whyH4100 didH4100 he remainH3427 in shipsH591? AsherH836 satH3427 stillH3427 at the havenH2348 of the seaH3220, and abodeH3427 by his creeks. 18ZebulunH2074 was a peopleH5971 that jeoparded their livesH5315 unto the deathH4191, and NaphtaliH5321, uponH5921 the highH4791 placesH4791 of the fieldH7704. 19The kingsH4428 cameH935 and foughtH3898; then foughtH3898 the kingsH4428 of CanaanH3667; in TaanachH8590 by the watersH4325 of Meggido: they tookH3947 noH3808 gainH1215 of moneyH3701. 20They foughtH3898 from heavenH8064, the starsH3556 in their coursesH4546 foughtH3898 againstH5973 SiseraH5516. 21The riverH5158 KishonH7028 sweptH1640 them awayH1640, that ancientH6917 riverH5158, the riverH5158 KishonH7028. O my soulH5315, marchH1869 on with strengthH5797. 22Then did the horsehoofs stamp by reason of the pransings, the pransings of their strongH47 onesH47. 23CurseH779 ye MerozH4789, saidH559 the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068, curseH779 ye bitterly the inhabitantsH3427 thereof; becauseH3588 they cameH935 notH3808 to the helpH5833 of the LORDH3068, to the helpH5833 of the LORDH3068 againstH935 the mightyH1368. 24BlessedH1288 above womenH802 shall JaelH3278 be, the wifeH802 of HeberH2268 the KeniteH7017, blessedH1288 shall she be above womenH802 in the tentH168. 25He askedH7592 waterH4325, and sheH5602 gaveH5414 him milkH2461; sheH5602 broughtH7126 him butterH2529 in a lordly dish. 26She putH7971 herH7971 handH3027 to the nail, and herH7971 rightH3225 handH3027 to the workmen’s hammerH1989; and with the hammerH1989 she smote SiseraH5516, she smote throughH3027 his headH7218, yea, she piercedH2498 and struckH4272 throughH3027 his templesH7541. 27At herH996 feetH7272 he bowedH3766, he fellH5307, he layH7901: at herH996 feetH7272 he bowedH3766, he fellH5307: whereH834 he bowedH3766, there he fellH5307 downH7901 deadH7703. 28ThroughH1157 the windowH2474 sheH517 lookedH8259 forth, and criedH2980, the motherH517 of SiseraH5516 criedH2980 throughH1157 the latticeH822, WhyH4069 is his chariotH4818 soH935 longH309 in comingH935? whyH4069 tarryH309 the wheels of his chariotsH7393? 29HerH7725 wiseH2450 ladiesH8282 answeredH559 herH7725, yea, sheH1931 returnedH7725 answerH6030 to herselfH1931, 30Have they notH3808 foundH4672, have they notH3808 dividedH2505 the spoilH7998? a damsel, twoH3808 damsels to everyH7218 manH1397; to SiseraH5516 a spoilH7998 of divers colours, a spoilH7998 of divers colours of embroideryH7553, of divers colours of embroideryH7553 on both sides, on the necksH6677 of the spoilH7998? 31SoH3651 letH3651 allH3605 thine enemiesH341 perishH6, O LORDH3068: but letH3651 them that loveH157 him be as the sunH8121 when he goeth forthH3318 in his might. And the landH776 had restH8252 fortyH705 yearsH8141.
