1Then Deborah and Barak vibed together that day, saying,

2Praise the Lord for holding it down for Israel, when the squad stepped up and offered themselves, no cap.

3Yo, kings, listen up; princes, pay attention; I'm about to sing to the Lord; I’ll give mad praise to the Lord God of Israel.

4Lord, when you rolled outta Seir, when you marched from Edom's fields, the earth shook, and the heavens dropped like, whoa, the clouds got all rainy.

5The mountains were melting in front of the Lord, even Sinai was like, whoa, in front of the Lord God of Israel.

6Back in the days of Shamgar son of Anath, and Jael, the highways were empty, and travelers were low-key taking the back roads.

7The village peeps were ghosting, they were MIA in Israel, 'til I, Deborah, popped off and became a mother figure in Israel.

8They picked new gods; then it was war at the gates: was there even a shield or spear among forty thousand in Israel?

9My heart's with the leaders of Israel, who stepped up willingly among the people. Bless the Lord, fr.

10Speak up, you who ride on white donkeys, you who judge and walk the path.

11If you made it outta the chaos of the archers by the water, that's where you gotta vibe and remember all the dope things God did for His peeps in Israel; then the squad of the Lord rolls up to the gates.

12Yo, wake up, Deborah! Drop a fire song: rise up, Barak, and take your crew back, son of Abinoam.

13He made sure the ones left had power over the top dogs; the Lord gave me the rizz to rule over the strong.

14From Ephraim, there was a squad ready to roll against Amalek; after you, Benjamin, among your crew; from Machir came the bosses, and from Zebulun, those who write the bangers.

15The princes of Issachar were chillin' with Deborah; even Issachar and Barak were sent on foot into the valley. Reuben had some serious thoughts going on.

16Why you chillin' with the sheep, just listening to the bleats? Reuben had some deep feels going on.

17Gilead was hanging out beyond Jordan: why was Dan just vibing on ships? Asher was posted at the beach, holding it down.

18Zebulun and Naphtali were the real ones who risked it all in the high spots of the field.

19The kings showed up and threw down, then the kings of Canaan went hard in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they didn't even care about the cash.

20They were fighting from the sky; the stars were out here battling against Sisera.

21The river Kishon just swept them away, like an ancient vibe, for real. O my soul, you just crushed it.

22The horsehoofs got wrecked from all the prancing, like the rizz of their strong ones was no joke.

23Yo, Meroz is cursed, said the angel of the Lord, like, seriously, curse those who didn’t help the Lord against the strong ones.

24Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, is blessed above all women, straight up goated in the tent.

25He asked for water, and she was like, "Here’s some milk," and served him butter on a fancy dish.

26She put her hand on the nail and the other on the hammer, and with that hammer, she took Sisera out, no cap.

27At her feet, he bowed and fell, like he was done for, where he bowed, he just dropped dead.

28Sisera's mom was peeking out the window, like, "Why’s his chariot taking so long? Where the wheels at?"

29Her wise ladies were like, "Yeah, for sure," and she was answering herself, no doubt.

30They ain't come back yet? Did they not split the loot; every dude got a girl or two; Sisera got all the colorful stuff, like, fancy needlework for those who take the spoils?

31So let all the haters fade away, Lord: but those who vibe with you be like the sun shining bright. And the land was chill for forty years.

1Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,

2Praise ye the Lord for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves.

3Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing unto the Lord; I will sing praise to the Lord God of Israel.

4Lord, when thou wentest out of Seir, when thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds also dropped water.

5The mountains melted from before the Lord, even that Sinai from before the Lord God of Israel.

6In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travellers walked through byways.

7The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, 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 the Lord.

10Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way.

11They that are delivered from the noise of archers in the places of drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the Lord, even the righteous acts toward the inhabitants of his villages in Israel: then shall the people of the Lord go down to the gates.

12Awake, awake, Deborah: awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.

13Then he made him that remaineth have dominion over the nobles among the people: the Lord made me have dominion over the mighty.

14Out of Ephraim was there a root of them against Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, among thy people; out of Machir came down governors, and out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.

15And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; even Issachar, and also Barak: he was sent on foot into the valley. For the divisions of Reuben there were great thoughts of heart.

16Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.

17Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches.

18Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death in the high places of the field.

19The kings came and fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money.

20They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.

21The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength.

22Then were the horsehoofs broken by the means of the pransings, the pransings of their mighty ones.

23Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the Lord, curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord against the mighty.

24Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above women in the tent.

25He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.

26She put her hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workmen’s hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote off his head, when she had pierced and stricken through his temples.

27At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down: at her feet he bowed, he fell: where he bowed, there he fell down dead.

28The mother of Sisera looked out at a window, and cried through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming? why tarry the wheels of his chariots?

29Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer to herself,

30Have they not sped? have they not divided the prey; to every man a damsel or two; to Sisera a prey of divers colours, a prey of divers colours of needlework, of divers colours of needlework on both sides, meet for the necks of them that take the spoil?

31So let all thine enemies perish, O Lord: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.
