Judges 5:1-5, 18-22, 31

On that day Deborah and Barak son of Abinoam sang this song: “The leaders led Israel. The people volunteered to go to battle. Praise the LORD! Listen, kings. Pay attention, rulers! I myself will sing to the LORD. I will make music to the LORD, the God of Israel. “LORD, when you came from Edom, when you marched from the land of Edom, the earth shook, the skies rained, and the clouds dropped water. The mountains shook before the LORD, the God of Mount Sinai, before the LORD, the God of Israel!

But the people of Zebulun risked their lives, as did the people of Naphtali on the battlefield. “The kings came, and they fought. At that time the kings of Canaan fought at Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo. But they took away no silver or possessions of Israel. The stars fought from heaven; from their paths, they fought Sisera. The Kishon River swept Sisera’s men away, that old river, the Kishon River. March on, my soul, with strength! Then the horses’ hoofs beat the ground. Galloping, galloping go Sisera’s mighty horses.

“Let all your enemies die this way, LORD! But let all the people who love you be as strong as the rising sun!” Then there was peace in the land for forty years.
