New American Standard Bible
Chapter 5
2
'For the leaders leading in Israel,
For the people volunteering,
Bless the
Lord
!
3
Hear, you kings; listen, you dignitaries!
I myself—to the
Lord
, I myself will sing,
I will sing praise to the
Lord
, the God of Israel!
4
Lord
, when You went out from Seir,
When You marched from the field of Edom,
The earth quaked, the heavens also dripped,
The clouds also dripped water.
5
The mountains flowed
with water
at the presence of the
Lord
,
This Sinai, at the presence of the
Lord
, the God of Israel.
6
'In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath,
In the days of Jael, the roads were deserted,
And travelers went by roundabout ways.
7
The peasantry came to an end, they came to an end in Israel,
Until I, Deborah, arose,
Until I arose, a mother in Israel.
8
New gods were chosen;
Then war
was in
the gates.
Not a shield or a spear was seen
Among forty thousand in Israel.
9
My heart
goes out
to the commanders of Israel,
The volunteers among the people;
Bless the
Lord
!
10
You who ride on white donkeys,
You who sit on
rich
carpets,
And you who travel on the road—shout in praise!
11
At the sound of those who distribute
water
among the watering places,
There they will recount the righteous deeds of the
Lord
,
The righteous deeds for His peasantry in Israel.
Then the people of the
Lord
went down to the gates.
12
'Awake, awake, Deborah;
Awake, awake, sing a song!
Arise, Barak, and lead away your captives, son of Abinoam.
13
Then survivors came down to the nobles;
The people of the
Lord
came down to me as warriors.
14
From Ephraim those whose root is in Amalek
came down,
Following you, Benjamin, with your peoples;
From Machir commanders came down,
And from Zebulun those who wield the staff of office.
15
And the princes of Issachar
were
with Deborah;
As
was
Issachar, so
was
Barak;
Into the valley they rushed at his heels;
Among the divisions of Reuben
There were
great determinations of heart.
16
Why did you sit among the sheepfolds,
To hear the piping for the flocks?
Among the divisions of Reuben
There were
great searchings of heart.
17
Gilead remained across the Jordan;
And why did Dan stay on ships?
Asher sat at the seashore,
And remained by its landings.
18
Zebulun
was
a people who risked their lives,
And Naphtali
too,
on the high places of the field.
19
'The kings came
and
fought;
Then the kings of Canaan fought
At Taanach near the waters of Megiddo;
They took no plunder in silver.
King James Version
Chapter 5
2
Praise ye the
Lord
for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves.
3
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.
4
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.
5
The mountains melted from before the
Lord
, even that Sinai from before the
Lord
God of Israel.
6
In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travellers walked through byways.
7
The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose a mother in Israel.
8
They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
9
My heart is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the
Lord
.
10
Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way.
11
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.
12
Awake, awake, Deborah: awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.
13
Then he made him that remaineth have dominion over the nobles among the people: the
Lord
made me have dominion over the mighty.
14
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.
15
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.
16
Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.
17
Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches.
18
Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death in the high places of the field.
19
The kings came and fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 5
2
When the leaders lead in Israel,
when the people volunteer,
blessed be the
Lord
.
3
Listen, kings! Pay attention, princes!
I will sing to the
Lord
;
I will sing praise to the
Lord
God of Israel.
4
Lord
, when you came from Seir,
when you marched from the fields of Edom,
the earth trembled,
the skies poured rain,
and the clouds poured water.
5
The mountains melted before the
Lord
,
even Sinai, before the
Lord
, the God of Israel.
6
In the days of Shamgar son of Anath,
in the days of Jael,
the main roads were deserted
because travelers kept to the side roads.
7
Villages were deserted,
they were deserted in Israel,
until I, Deborah, arose,
a mother in Israel.
8
Israel chose new gods,
then there was war in the city gates.
Not a shield or spear was seen
among forty thousand in Israel.
9
My heart is with the leaders of Israel,
with the volunteers of the people.
Blessed be the
Lord
!
10
You who ride on white donkeys,
who sit on saddle blankets,
and who travel on the road, give praise!
11
Let them tell the righteous acts of the
Lord
,
the righteous deeds of his warriors in Israel,
with the voices of the singers at the watering places.
Then the
Lord
’s people went down to the city gates.
12
"Awake! Awake, Deborah!
Awake! Awake, sing a song!
Arise, Barak,
and take your prisoners,
son of Abinoam!"
13
Then the survivors came down to the nobles;
the
Lord
’s people came down to me with the warriors.
14
Those with their roots in Amalek came from Ephraim;
Benjamin came with your people after you.
The leaders came down from Machir,
and those who carry a marshal’s staff came from Zebulun.
15
The princes of Issachar were with Deborah;
Issachar was with Barak;
they were under his leadership in the valley.
There was great searching of heart
among the clans of Reuben.
16
Why did you sit among the sheep pens
listening to the playing of pipes for the flocks?
There was great searching of heart
among the clans of Reuben.
17
Gilead remained beyond the Jordan.
Dan, why did you linger at the ships?
Asher remained at the seashore
and stayed in his harbors.
18
The people of Zebulun defied death,
Naphtali also, on the heights of the battlefield.
19
Kings came and fought.
Then the kings of Canaan fought
at Taanach by the Waters of Megiddo,
but they did not plunder the silver.

Lord
, when you set out from Seir
and marched across the fields of Edom,
the earth trembled,
and the cloudy skies poured down rain.

The mountains quaked in the presence of the
Lord
,
the God of Mount Sinai —
in the presence of the
Lord
,
the God of Israel.

'In the days of Shamgar son of Anath,
and in the days of Jael,
people avoided the main roads,
and travelers stayed on winding pathways.

There were few people left in the villages of Israel —
until Deborah arose as a mother for Israel.
8
When Israel chose new gods,
war erupted at the city gates.
Yet not a shield or spear could be seen
among forty thousand warriors in Israel!
9
My heart is with the commanders of Israel,
with those who volunteered for war.
Praise the
Lord
!
10
'Consider this, you who ride on fine donkeys,
you who sit on fancy saddle blankets,
and you who walk along the road.
11
Listen to the village musicians
gathered at the watering holes.
They recount the righteous victories of the
Lord
and the victories of his villagers in Israel.
Then the people of the
Lord
marched down to the city gates.
12
'Wake up, Deborah, wake up!
Wake up, wake up, and sing a song!
Arise, Barak!
Lead your captives away, son of Abinoam!
13
'Down from Tabor marched the few against the nobles.
The people of the
Lord
marched down against mighty warriors.
14
They came down from Ephraim —
a land that once belonged to the Amalekites;
they followed you, Benjamin, with your troops.
From Makir the commanders marched down;
from Zebulun came those who carry a commander’s staff.
15
The princes of Issachar were with Deborah and Barak.
They followed Barak, rushing into the valley.
But in the tribe of Reuben
there was great indecision.
16
Why did you sit at home among the sheepfolds —
to hear the shepherds whistle for their flocks?
Yes, in the tribe of Reuben
there was great indecision.
17
Gilead remained east of the Jordan.
And why did Dan stay home?
Asher sat unmoved at the seashore,
remaining in his harbors.
18
But Zebulun risked his life,
as did Naphtali, on the heights of the battlefield.
19
'The kings of Canaan came and fought,
at Taanach near Megiddo’s springs,
but they carried off no silver treasures.

“Hear, O kings! Give ear, O princes!
I,
even
I, will sing to the

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,

The righteous acts

His villagers in Israel;
Then the people of the

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

fought,
Then the kings of Canaan fought
In Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo;
They took no spoils of silver.
