When You marched from bthe field of Edom,
The earth trembled and the heavens poured,
The clouds also poured water;
In the days of bJael,
cThe highways were deserted,
And the travelers walked along the byways.
Then there was war in the gates;
Not a shield or spear was seen among forty thousand in Israel.
Who offered themselves willingly with the people.
Bless the Lord!
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.
Awake, awake, sing a song!
Arise, Barak, and lead your captives away,
O son of Abinoam!
The Lord came down for me against the mighty.
| << Judges 5:5 | Judges 5:7 >> |
