Judges 5:1-9

Judges 5:1-9 AMP

Then Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam sang on that day, saying, “For the leaders who took the lead in Israel, For the people who volunteered [for battle], Bless the LORD! “Hear, O kings; listen, O rulers! I will sing to the LORD, I will sing praise to the LORD, the God of Israel. “LORD, when You went out from Seir, When You marched from the field of Edom, The earth quaked, the heavens also dripped, Yes, the clouds dripped water. “The mountains quaked at the presence of the LORD, Yes, this Sinai, at the presence of the LORD, the God of Israel. ¶“In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, In the days of Jael, the highways were deserted, And travelers went by roundabout ways. “The villagers ceased to be; they ceased in Israel Until I, Deborah, arose, Until I arose, a mother in Israel. “They chose new gods; Then war was in the gates. Was there a shield or spear seen Among forty thousand in Israel? “My heart goes out to the commanders of Israel, The volunteers among the people; Bless the LORD!
