Judges 5:3-11

3Listen, O kings! Give ear, O rulers! I, to Adonai I will sing, I will sing praise to Adonai, the God of Israel.

4Adonai, when You came out from Seir, when You marched from Edom’s field, the earth trembled, the heavens also dropped, yes, the clouds dropped water.

5The mountains quaked before Adonai, this Sinai at the presence of Adonai, the God of Israel!

6In the days of Shamgar son of Anath, in the days of Yael, the highways were deserted, travelers walked by crooked paths.

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

8They chose new gods— then war was in the gates. No shield or spear was seen among 40,000 in Israel!

9My heart is with Israel’s rulers, who offer themselves freely among the people. Bless Adonai!

10Riders on white donkeys, sitting on saddle blankets, traveling on the road, sing!

11Louder than the sound of archers, at the watering places! There let them rehearse the righteous acts of Adonai, the righteous deeds for His villages in Israel. Then the people of Adonai went down to the gates.
