005:001
Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,

005:002
Praise ye the LORD for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves.

005:003
Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing unto the LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD God of Israel.

005:004
LORD, when thou wentest out of Seir, when thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds also dropped water.

005:005
The mountains melted from before the LORD, even that Sinai from before the LORD God of Israel.

005:006
In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travellers walked through byways.

005:007
The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose a mother in Israel.

005:008
They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?

005:009
My heart is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the LORD.

005:010
Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way.

005:011
They that are delivered from the noise of archers in the places of drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the LORD, even the righteous acts toward the inhabitants of his villages in Israel: then shall the people of the LORD go down to the gates.

005:012
Awake, awake, Deborah: awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.

005:013
Then he made him that remaineth have dominion over the nobles among the people: the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty.

005:014
Out of Ephraim was there a root of them against Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, among thy people; out of Machir came down governors, and out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.

005:015
And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; even Issachar, and also Barak: he was sent on foot into the valley. For the divisions of Reuben there were great thoughts of heart.

005:016
Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.

005:017
Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches.

005:018
Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death in the high places of the field.

005:019
The kings came and fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money.

005:020
They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.

005:021
The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength.

005:022
Then were the horsehoofs broken by the means of the pransings, the pransings of their mighty ones.

005:023
Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the LORD, curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the LORD, to the help of the LORD against the mighty.

005:024
Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above women in the tent.

005:025
He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.

005:026
She put her hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workmen's hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote off his head, when she had pierced and stricken through his temples.

005:027
At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down: at her feet he bowed, he fell: where he bowed, there he fell down dead.

005:028
The mother of Sisera looked out at a window, and cried through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming? why tarry the wheels of his chariots?

005:029
Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer to herself,

005:030
Have they not sped? have they not divided the prey; to every man a damsel or two; to Sisera a prey of divers colors, a prey of divers colors of needlework, of divers colors of needlework on both sides, meet for the necks of them that take the spoil?

005:031
So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.
