5The mountains quaked at the presence of Yahweh, Even yon Sinai at the presence of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
6In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, In the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, The travelers walked through byways.
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.
