^(A)Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.

² Who can ^[b]utter the mighty acts of the Lord?
Who can declare all His praise?
³ Blessed are those who keep justice,
And ^[c]he who ^(B)does righteousness at ^(C)all times!

^4 (D)Remember me, O Lord, with the favor You have toward Your people.
Oh, visit me with Your salvation,
⁵ That I may see the benefit of Your chosen ones,
That I may rejoice in the gladness of Your nation,
That I may glory with ^[d]Your inheritance.

^6 (E)We have sinned with our fathers,
We have committed iniquity,
We have done wickedly.
⁷ Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your wonders;
They did not remember the multitude of Your mercies,
^(F)But rebelled by the sea—the Red Sea.

⁸ Nevertheless He saved them for His name’s sake,
^(G)That He might make His mighty power known.
^9 (H)He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it dried up;
So ^(I)He led them through the depths,
As through the wilderness.
¹⁰ He ^(J)saved them from the hand of him who hated them,
And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
^11 (K)The waters covered their enemies;
There was not one of them left.
^12 (L)Then they believed His words;
They sang His praise.

¹² “Awake,^(A) awake, Deborah!
Awake, awake, sing a song!
Arise, Barak, and lead your captives away,
O son of Abinoam!

¹³ “Then the survivors came down, the people against the nobles;
The Lord came down for me against the mighty.
¹⁴ From Ephraim were those whose roots were in ^(B)Amalek.
After you, Benjamin, with your peoples,
From Machir rulers came down,
And from Zebulun those who bear the recruiter’s staff.
¹⁵ And ^[a]the princes of Issachar were with Deborah;
As Issachar, so was Barak
Sent into the valley ^[b]under his command;
Among the divisions of Reuben
There were great resolves of heart.
¹⁶ Why did you sit among the sheepfolds,
To hear the pipings for the flocks?
The divisions of Reuben have great searchings of heart.
^17 (C)Gilead stayed beyond the Jordan,
And why did Dan remain ^[c]on ships?
^(D)Asher continued at the seashore,
And stayed by his inlets.
^18 (E)Zebulun is a people who jeopardized their lives to the point of death,
Naphtali also, on the heights of the battlefield.

¹⁹ “The kings came and fought,
Then the kings of Canaan fought
In ^(F)Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo;
They took no spoils of silver.
²⁰ They fought from the heavens;
The stars from their courses fought against Sisera.
^21 (G)The torrent of Kishon swept them away,
That ancient torrent, the torrent of Kishon.
O my soul, march on in strength!
