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, Who offered themselves willingly among the people: Bless you Yahweh.
10Tell [of it], you who ride on white donkeys, You who sit on rich carpets, You who walk by the way.
11Far from the noise of archers, in the places of drawing water, There shall they rehearse the righteous acts of Yahweh, [Even] the righteous acts of his rule in Israel. Then the people of Yahweh went down to the gates.
12Awake, awake, Deborah; Awake, awake, utter a song: Arise, Barak, and lead away your captives, you son of Abinoam.
13Then came down a remnant of the nobles [and] the people; Yahweh came down for me against the mighty.
