Judges:5:9-16

*
My heart is toward the governors of Israel ,
that offered themselves willingly among the people .
Bless ye the LORD .
*
Speak ,
ye that ride on white asses ,
ye that sit in judgment ,
and walk by the way .
*
They 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 .
*
Awake ,
awake ,
Deborah :
awake ,
awake ,
utter a song :
arise ,
Barak ,
and lead thy captivity captive ,
thou son of Abinoam .
*
Then he made him that remaineth have dominion over the nobles among the people :
the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty .
*
Out 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 .
*
And 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 .
*
Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds ,
to hear the bleatings of the flocks ?
For the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart .
