 5:1 Then Deborah 1683 and Barak 1301 the son 1121 of Abinoam 42 sang 7891 on that day 3117, saying 559,

 5:2 “That the leaders 6546 led 6544b in Israel 3478, That the people 5971a volunteered 5068, Bless 1288 the LORD 3068!

 5:3 “Hear 8085, O kings 4428; give 238 ear 238, O rulers 7336! I—to the LORD 3068, I will sing 7891, I will sing 2167 praise 2167 to the LORD 3068, the God 430 of Israel 3478.

 5:4 “LORD 3068, when You went 3318 out from Seir 8165, When You marched 6805 from the field 7704 of Edom 112b, The earth 776 quaked 7493, the heavens 8064 also 1571 dripped 5197, Even 1571 the clouds 5645 dripped 5197 water 4325.

 5:5 “The mountains 2022 quaked 5140 at the presence 6440 of the LORD 3068, This 2088 Sinai 5514, at the presence 6440 of the LORD 3068, the God 430 of Israel 3478.

 5:6 ¶ “In the days 3117 of Shamgar 8044 the son 1121 of Anath 6067, In the days 3117 of Jael 3278, the highways 734 were deserted 2308, And travelers 1980 5410b went 1980 by roundabout 6128 ways 734.

 5:7 “The peasantry 6520 ceased 2308, they ceased 2308 in Israel 3478, Until 5704 I, Deborah 1683, arose 6965, Until I arose 6965, a mother 517 in Israel 3478.

 5:8 “New 2319 gods 430 were chosen 977; Then 227 war 3901 [was] in the gates 8179. Not a shield 4043 or a spear 7420 was seen 7200 Among forty 705 thousand 505 in Israel 3478.

 5:9 “My heart 3820 [goes out] to the commanders 2710 of Israel 3478, The volunteers 5068 among the people 5971a; Bless 1288 the LORD 3068!

 5:10 “You who ride 7392 on white 6715 donkeys 860, You who sit 3427 on [rich] carpets 4055, And you who travel 1980 on the road 1870—sing 7878!

 5:11 “At the sound 6963 of those who divide 2686b [flocks] among 996 the watering 4857 places 4857, There 8033 they shall recount 8567 the righteous 6666 deeds 6666 of the LORD 3068, The righteous 6666 deeds 6666 for His peasantry 6520 in Israel 3478. Then 227 the people 5971a of the LORD 3068 went 3381 down 3381 to the gates 8179.

 5:12 ¶ “Awake 5782, awake 5782, Deborah 1683; Awake 5782, awake 5782, sing 1696 a song 7892a! Arise 6965, Barak 1301, and take 7617 away your captives 7628b, O son 1121 of Abinoam 42.

 5:13 “Then 227 survivors 8300 came 3381 down 3381 to the nobles 117; The people 5971a of the LORD 3068 came 3381 down 3381 to me as warriors 1368.

 5:14 “From Ephraim 669 those whose root 8328 is in Amalek 6002 [came down], Following 310 you, Benjamin 1144, with your peoples 5971b; From Machir 4353 commanders 2710 came 3381 down 3381, And from Zebulun 2074 those who wield 4900 the staff 7626 of office 5613b.

 5:15 “And the princes 8269 of Issachar 3485 [were] with Deborah 1683; As [was] Issachar 3485, so 3651 [was] Barak 1301; Into the valley 6010 they rushed 7971 at his heels 7272; Among the divisions 6390 of Reuben 7205 [There were] great 1419 resolves 2706 of heart 3820.

 5:16 “Why 4100 did you sit 3427 among 996 the sheepfolds 4942, To hear 8085 the piping 8292 for the flocks 5739? Among the divisions 6390 of Reuben 7205 [There were] great 1419 searchings 2714 of heart 3820.

 5:17 “Gilead 1568 remained 7931 across 5676 the Jordan 3383; And why 4100 did Dan 1835 stay 1481a in ships 591? Asher 836 sat 3427 at the seashore 3220 2348, And remained 7931 by its landings 4664.

 5:18 “Zebulun 2074 [was] a people 5971a who despised 2778a their lives 5315 [even] to death 4191, And Naphtali 5321 also, on the high 4791 places 4791 of the field 7704.

 5:19 ¶ “The kings 4428 came 935 [and] fought 3898a; Then 227 fought 3898a the kings 4428 of Canaan 3667a At Taanach 8590 near 5921 the waters 4325 of Megiddo 4023b; They took 3947 no 3808 plunder 1215 in silver 3701.

 5:20 “The stars 3556 fought 3898a from heaven 8064, From their courses 4546 they fought 3898a against 5973 Sisera 5516.

 5:21 “The torrent 5158a of Kishon 7028 swept 1640 them away 1640, The ancient 6917 torrent 5158a, the torrent 5158a Kishon 7028. O my soul 5315, march 1869 on with strength 5797.

 5:22 “Then 227 the horses’ 5483b hoofs 6119 beat 1986 From the dashing 1726, the dashing 1726 of his valiant 47 steeds 47.

 5:23 ‘Curse 779 Meroz 4789,’ said 559 the angel 4397 of the LORD 3068, ‘Utterly 779 curse 779 its inhabitants 3427; Because 3588 they did not come 935 to the help 5833 of the LORD 3068, To the help 5833 of the LORD 3068 against the warriors 1368.’

 5:24 ¶ “Most blessed 1288 of women 802 is Jael 3278, The wife 802 of Heber 2268 the Kenite 7017; Most blessed 1288 is she of women 802 in the tent 168.

 5:25 “He asked 7592 for water 4325 [and] she gave 5414 him milk 2461; In a magnificent 117 bowl 5602 she brought 7126 him curds 2529.

 5:26 “She reached 7971 out her hand 3027 for the tent 3489 peg 3489, And her right 3225 hand 3225 for the workmen’s 6001a hammer 1989. Then she struck 1986 Sisera 5516, she smashed 4277 his head 7218; And she shattered 4272 and pierced 2498 his temple 7541.

 5:27 “Between 996 her feet 7272 he bowed 3766, he fell 5307, he lay 7901; Between 996 her feet 7272 he bowed 3766, he fell 5307; Where 834 he bowed 3766, there 8033 he fell 5307 dead 7703.

 5:28 ¶ “Out of the window 2474 she looked 8259 and lamented 2980, The mother 517 of Sisera 5516 through 1157 the lattice 822, ‘Why 4069 does his chariot 7393 delay 309 in coming 935? Why 4069 do the hoofbeats 6471 of his chariots 4818 tarry 309?’

 5:29 “Her wise 2450 princesses 8282 would answer 6030a her, Indeed 637 she repeats 7725 her words 561 to herself,

 5:30 ‘Are they not finding 4672, are they not dividing 2505a the spoil 7998? A maiden 7358, two maidens 7358 for every 7218 warrior 1397; To Sisera 5516 a spoil 7998 of dyed 6648 work 6648, A spoil 7998 of dyed 6648 work 6648 embroidered 7553, Dyed 6648 work 6648 of double embroidery 7553 on the neck 6677 of the spoiler 7998?’

 5:31 “Thus 3651 let all 3605 Your enemies 340 perish 6, O LORD 3068; But let those who love 157 Him be like the rising 3318 of the sun 8121 in its might 1369.” And the land 776 was undisturbed 8252 for forty 705 years 8141.
