The Song of Deborah
|
|
|
|
# Chapter 5
|
|
1. Then Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam sang on that day, saying:
|
|
|
|
2. "When leaders lead in Israel,
|
|
When the people willingly offer themselves,
|
|
Bless the Lord!
|
|
|
|
3. "Hear, O kings! Give ear, O princes!
|
|
I, even I, will sing to the Lord;
|
|
I will sing praise to the Lord God of Israel.
|
|
|
|
4. "Lord, when You went out from Seir,
|
|
When You marched from the field of Edom,
|
|
The earth trembled and the heavens poured,
|
|
The clouds also poured water;
|
|
|
|
5. The mountains gushed before the Lord,
|
|
This Sinai, before the Lord God of Israel.
|
|
|
|
6. "In the days of Shamgar, son of Anath,
|
|
In the days of Jael,
|
|
The highways were deserted,
|
|
And the travelers walked along the byways.
|
|
|
|
7. Village life ceased, it ceased in Israel,
|
|
Until I, Deborah, arose,
|
|
Arose a mother in Israel.
|
|
|
|
8. They chose new gods;
|
|
Then there was war in the gates;
|
|
Not a shield or spear was seen among forty thousand in Israel.
|
|
|
|
9. My heart is with the rulers of Israel
|
|
Who offered themselves willingly with the people.
|
|
Bless the Lord!
|
|
|
|
10. "Speak, you who ride on white donkeys,
|
|
Who sit in judges' attire,
|
|
And who walk along the road.
|
|
|
|
11. Far from the noise of the archers, among the watering places,
|
|
There they shall recount the righteous acts of the Lord,
|
|
The righteous acts for His villagers in Israel;
|
|
Then the people of the Lord shall go down to the gates.
|
|
|
|
12. "Awake, awake, Deborah!
|
|
Awake, awake, sing a song!
|
|
Arise, Barak, and lead your captives away,
|
|
O son of Abinoam!
|
|
|
|
13. "Then the survivors came down, the people against the nobles;
|
|
The Lord came down for me against the mighty.
|
|
|
|
14. From Ephraim were those whose roots were in Amalek.
|
|
After you, Benjamin, with your peoples,
|
|
From Machir rulers came down,
|
|
And from Zebulun those who bear the recruiter's staff.
|
|
|
|
15. And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah;
|
|
As Issachar, so was Barak
|
|
Sent into the valley under his command;
|
|
Among the divisions of Reuben
|
|
There were great resolves of heart.
|
|
|
|
16. Why did you sit among the sheepfolds,
|
|
To hear the pipings for the flocks?
|
|
The divisions of Reuben have great searchings of heart.
|
|
|
|
17. Gilead stayed beyond the Jordan,
|
|
And why did Dan remain on ships?
|
|
Asher continued at the seashore,
|
|
And stayed by his inlets.
|
|
|
|
18. Zebulun is a people who jeopardized their lives to the point of death,
|
|
Naphtali also, on the heights of the battlefield.
|
|
|
|
19. "The kings came and fought,
|
|
Then the kings of Canaan fought
|
|
In Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo;
|
|
They took no spoils of silver.
|
|
|
|
20. They fought from the heavens;
|
|
The stars from their courses fought against Sisera.
|
|
|
|
21. The torrent of Kishon swept them away,
|
|
That ancient torrent, the torrent of Kishon.
|
|
O my soul, march on in strength!
|
|
|
|
22. Then the horses' hooves pounded,
|
|
The galloping, galloping of his steeds.
|
|
|
|
23. 'Curse Meroz,' said the angel of the Lord,
|
|
'Curse its inhabitants bitterly,
|
|
Because they did not come to the help of the Lord,
|
|
To the help of the Lord against the mighty.'
|
|
|
|
24. "Most blessed among women is Jael,
|
|
The wife of Heber the Kenite;
|
|
Blessed is she among women in tents.
|
|
|
|
25. He asked for water, she gave milk;
|
|
She brought out cream in a lordly bowl.
|
|
|
|
26. She stretched her hand to the tent peg,
|
|
Her right hand to the workmen's hammer;
|
|
She pounded Sisera, she pierced his head,
|
|
She split and struck through his temple.
|
|
|
|
27. At her feet he sank, he fell, he lay still;
|
|
At her feet he sank, he fell;
|
|
Where he sank, there he fell dead.
|
|
|
|
28. "The mother of Sisera looked through the window,
|
|
And cried out through the lattice,
|
|
'Why is his chariot so long in coming?
|
|
Why tarries the clatter of his chariots?'
|
|
|
|
29. Her wisest ladies answered her,
|
|
Yes, she answered herself,
|
|
|
|
30. 'Are they not finding and dividing the spoil:
|
|
To every man a girl or two;
|
|
For Sisera, plunder of dyed garments,
|
|
Plunder of garments embroidered and dyed,
|
|
Two pieces of dyed embroidery for the neck of the looter?'
|
|
|
|
31. "Thus let all Your enemies perish, O Lord!
|
|
But let those who love Him be like the sun
|
|
When it comes out in full strength."
|
|
So the land had rest for forty years.
