Judges 5
Reading Judges chapter 5 in the Young's Literal Translation, public-domain text from 1898.
Verses 1–10
1 And Deborah singeth--also Barak son of Abinoam--on that day, saying: --
2 `For freeing freemen in Israel, For a people willingly offering themselves Bless ye Jehovah.
3 Hear, ye kings; give ear, ye princes, I, to Jehovah, I--I do sing, I sing praise to Jehovah, God of Israel.
4 Jehovah, in Thy going forth out of Seir, In Thy stepping out of the field of Edom, Earth trembled, also the heavens dropped, Also thick clouds dropped water.
5 Hills flowed from the face of Jehovah, This one--Sinai--From the face of Jehovah, God of Israel.
6 In the days of Shamgar son of Anath--In the days of Jael--The ways have ceased, And those going in the paths go in crooked ways.
7 Villages ceased in Israel--they ceased, Till that I arose--Deborah, That I arose, a mother in Israel.
8 He chooseth new gods, Then war is at the gates! A shield is not seen--and a spear Among forty thousand in Israel.
9 My heart is to the lawgivers of Israel, Who are offering themselves willingly among the people, Bless ye Jehovah!
10 Riders on white asses--Sitters on a long robe--And walkers by the way--meditate!
