Then Deborah and Barak son of Abinoam sang on that day, saying:

When the leaders in Israel take the field, when the people willingly offer themselves—bless the LORD.

Hear, O kings; give ear, O rulers; I, even I, will sing to the LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD, the God of Israel.

O LORD, when you went forth from Seir, when you marched from the hill country of Edom, the earth trembled and the heavens dropped, yes, the clouds dropped water.

The mountains melted before the LORD—this Sinai before the LORD, the God of Israel.

In the days of Shamgar son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways ceased and travelers followed roundabout ways.

The people ceased, ceased in Israel, until I—Deborah—arose; I arose a mother in Israel.

They chose new gods; then was war at the gates. Was there shield or spear seen among the forty thousand in Israel?

My heart goes out to the leaders of Israel, to those who offered themselves willingly among the people—bless the LORD.

Riders on white donkeys, those seated on rich carpets, and those who walk by the way of the vineyards.

At the sound of the archers among the watering places, there they recount the righteousness of the LORD, the righteous deeds of his princes in Israel. Then the people went down to the gates.

Arise, arise, Deborah; arise, arise, sing a song! Arise, Barak, and take captive your captives, son of Abinoam.

Then the remnant of the nobles came down; the people of the LORD came down for me— a remnant of the mighty came down.

From Ephraim their root, after you, Benjamin among your peoples; from Machir came leaders, from Zebulun those who bear the marshal's staff. And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; Issachar was with Barak—sent to the valley at his command; into the divisions of Reuben there were great deliberations of heart.

Why did you sit among the sheepfolds to hear the piping for the flocks? For the divisions of Reuben there were great deliberations of heart.

Gilead remained beyond the Jordan; and why did Dan stay in ships? Asher sat by the seashore and remained at his inlets.

Zebulun risked his life unto death; Naphtali on the heights of the field.

Kings came and fought; then the kings of Canaan fought at Taanach by Megiddo; they took no silver as spoil.

From the heavens the stars fought, from their courses they fought against Sisera.

The torrent Kishon swept them away, the ancient torrent, the torrent Kishon. My soul, march on with strength!

Then the hoofs of the horses clattered—the galloping of their steeds, the charging of the mighty.

'Curse Meroz,' said the angel of the LORD; 'curse its inhabitants, because they did not come to the help of the LORD, to the help of the LORD against the mighty.'

Most blessed of women be Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite; most blessed of tent-dwelling women.

She asked for water and gave him milk; in a lordly cup she brought him curds.

She took a tent peg in her hand and with her right hand a hammer. She struck Sisera; she crushed his head, she pierced and split his temple.

He sank, he fell, he lay between her feet; he sank, he fell—there at her feet he sank and fell, dead.

Through the lattice she peered and cried out; the mother of Sisera peered through the window: 'Why are his chariot-steps delayed in coming? Why do the clatter of his chariots not arrive?'

The wise women of her household answer her; indeed she answers within herself.

Will they not find and divide the spoil—'a maiden or two for each man'?—spoils of colored garments for Sisera, spoils of embroidered cloth for the necks of the plunder. So perish all your enemies, O LORD! But let those who love you be like the sun when it rises in its might. And the land had rest forty years.
