² Who can utter the mighty deeds of Yahweh,
or proclaim all his praise?
³ Blessed are those who observe justice,
he who does righteousness at all times.
⁴ Remember me, O Yahweh, when you show favor to your people.
Look after me when you deliver,
⁵ that I may see the good done your chosen ones,
to be glad in the joy of your nation,
to glory together with your inheritance.
⁶ We have sinned along with our ancestors.^[b]
We have committed iniquity; we have incurred guilt.
⁷ Our ancestors^[c] in Egypt did not understand your wonderful works.
They did not remember your many acts of loyal love,
and so they rebelled by the sea at the Red Sea.^[d]
8 Yet he saved them for the sake of his name,
to make known his might.
⁹ So he rebuked the Red Sea,^[e] and it dried up,
and he led them through the deep as through a desert.
¹⁰ Thus he saved them from the hand of the hater
and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
¹¹ But waters covered their adversaries;
not one of them survived.
¹² Then they believed his words;
they sang his praise.

¹² “Wake up, wake up, Deborah!
    Wake up, wake up, sing a song!

    Take captive your captives, O son of Abinoam.
¹³ Then the remnant went down to the nobles;
    the people of Yahweh went down for him^[a] against the mighty.

    after you, Benjamin, with your family;
from Makir the commanders went down,
    and from Zebulun those carrying the scepter
        of the military commander.
¹⁵ And the chiefs^[b] in Issachar were with Deborah;
    and Issachar likewise was with Barak;
    into the valley he was sent to get him from behind.^[c]
Among the clans of Reuben
    were great decisions of the heart.^[d]
16 Why do you sit among the sheepfolds,
    to hear the calling sounds of the herds?
For the clans of Reuben,
    there were great searchings of the heart.
¹⁷ Gilead has remained^[e] beyond the Jordan.
    Why did Dan dwell as a foreigner with ships?
Asher sat at the coast of the waters,
    and by his coves he has been settling down.
¹⁸ Zebulun is a people who scorned death,
    and Naphtali, on the heights of the field.
¹⁹ “The kings came, they fought;
    then the kings of Canaan fought;
at Taanach by the waters of Megiddo,
    they got no plunder in silver.
²⁰ The stars fought from heaven;
    from their courses they fought against Sisera.
²¹ The wadi^[f] torrent of Kishon swept them away,
    the raging wadi torrent,
        the wadi torrent of Kishon.
    March on, my soul, with strength!
