Judges 5:1-3
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Chapter 5
Song of Deborah. 1 (A)On that day Deborah sang this song—and Barak, son of Abinoam:
2 [a]When uprising broke out in Israel,
when the people rallied for duty—bless the Lord!
3 Hear, O kings! Give ear, O princes!
I will sing, I will sing to the Lord,
I will make music to the Lord, the God of Israel.
