to the Lord I will sing;
I will make melody to the Lord, the God of Israel.(A)

7 The peasantry prospered in Israel;
they grew fat on plunder,
because[a] you arose, Deborah,
arose as a mother in Israel.
8 When new gods were chosen,
then war was in the gates.

among forty thousand in Israel?(A)
9 My heart goes out to the commanders of Israel
who offered themselves willingly among the people.
Bless the Lord.
