7The rulers ceased in Israel, they ceased, Until that I Deborah arose, That I arose a mother in Israel.
8They chose new gods; Then was war in the gates: Was there a shield or spear seen Among forty thousand in Israel?
9My heart is toward the governors of Israel, That offered themselves willingly among the people: Bless ye Jehovah.
10Tell [of it], ye that ride on white asses, Ye that sit on rich carpets, And ye that walk by the way.
11Far from the noise of archers, in the places of drawing water, There shall they rehearse the righteous acts of Jehovah, [Even] the righteous acts of his rule in Israel. Then the people of Jehovah went down to the gates.
12Awake, awake, Deborah; Awake, awake, utter a song: Arise, Barak, and lead away thy captives, thou son of Abinoam.
13Then came down a remnant of the nobles [and] the people; Jehovah came down for me against the mighty.
