9Come, you rulers of Israel, you who gave yourselves freely among the people: give praise to the Lord.
10Let them give thought to it, who go on white asses, and those who are walking on the road.
11Give ear to the women laughing by the water-springs; there they will give again the story of the upright acts of the Lord, all the upright acts of his arm in Israel.
12Awake! awake! Deborah: awake! awake! give a song: Up! Barak, and take prisoner those who took you prisoner, O son of Abinoam.
13Then the chiefs went down to the doors; the Lord's people went down among the strong ones.
14Out of Ephraim they came down into the valley; after you, Benjamin, among your tribesmen; from Machir came down the captains, and from Zebulun those in whose hand is the ruler's rod.
