Sing praises Israel to the Lord,
that thee avenged so:
when to the fight with free accord,
the people forth did go.
You Kings give ear, you Princes hear,
while to the Lord I raise
my voice aloud, and sing to God,
(the Lord of Israel) praise.
Until I Deborah arose,
(who rose a mother there)
in Israel when new gods they chose,
that filled their gates with war.
And they had there nor shield nor spear
in their possession then;
to arm (for fight) one Israelite
’mong forty thousand men.
Arise oh Deborah, arise:
rise, rise, and sing a song.
Abinoam’s son, oh Barak rise:
thy captives lead along.
Their Princes all, by him made thrall
to the survivor be.
To triumph on, the Mighty One,
the LORD vouchsafed me.
