^4 (F)Remember me, O Lord, when you show favor to your people;
    help me when you save them,^[a]
5 that I may look upon the prosperity of your ^(G)chosen ones,
    that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation,
    that I may glory with your inheritance.

^6 (H)Both we and ^(I)our fathers have sinned;
    we have committed iniquity; we have done wickedness.
⁷ Our fathers, when they were in Egypt,
    did not consider your wondrous works;
they ^(J)did not remember the abundance of your steadfast love,
    but ^(K)rebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea.
⁸ Yet he saved them ^(L)for his name's sake,
    ^(M)that he might make known his mighty power.
⁹ He ^(N)rebuked the Red Sea, and it ^(O)became dry,
    and he ^(P)led them through the deep as through a desert.
¹⁰ So he ^(Q)saved them from the hand of the foe
    and ^(R)redeemed them from the power of the enemy.
¹¹ And ^(S)the waters covered their adversaries;
    not one of them was left.
¹² Then ^(T)they believed his words;
    they ^(U)sang his praise.

^12 (A)“Awake, awake, Deborah!
    Awake, awake, break out in a song!
Arise, Barak, ^(B)lead away your captives,
    O son of Abinoam.
¹³ Then down marched the remnant of the noble;
    the people of the Lord marched down for me against the mighty.
¹⁴ From ^(C)Ephraim their root ^(D)they marched down into the valley,^[a]
    following you, Benjamin, with your kinsmen;
from ^(E)Machir marched down the commanders,
    and from Zebulun those who bear the lieutenant's^[b] staff;
¹⁵ the princes of Issachar came with Deborah,
    and Issachar faithful to ^(F)Barak;
    into the valley they rushed at his heels.
Among the clans of Reuben
    there were great searchings of heart.
¹⁶ Why did you sit still ^(G)among the sheepfolds,
    to hear the whistling for the flocks?
Among the clans of Reuben
    there were great searchings of heart.
^17 (H)Gilead stayed beyond the Jordan;
    ^(I)and Dan, why did he stay with the ships?
^(J)Asher sat still ^(K)at the coast of the sea,
    staying by his landings.
^18 (L)Zebulun is a people who risked their lives to the death;
    ^(M)Naphtali, too, on the heights of the field.

¹⁹ “The kings came, they fought;
    then fought the kings of Canaan,
at ^(N)Taanach, by the waters of ^(O)Megiddo;
    ^(P)they got no spoils of silver.
^20 (Q)From heaven the stars fought,
    from their courses they fought against Sisera.
^21 (R)The torrent Kishon swept them away,
    the ancient torrent, the torrent Kishon.
    March on, my soul, with might!
