Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

⁴ Remember me, O Yahweh, in Your ^(F)favor ^[d]toward Your people;
Visit me with Your salvation,
⁵ That I may see the ^(G)goodness of Your chosen ones,
That I may ^(H)rejoice in the gladness of Your nation,
That I may ^(I)boast with Your ^[e]inheritance.

^6 (J)We have sinned ^(K)with our fathers,
We have committed iniquity, we have acted wickedly.
⁷ Our fathers in Egypt did not consider Your wondrous deeds;
They ^(L)did not remember Your abundant lovingkindnesses,
But they ^(M)rebelled by the sea, at the ^[f]Red Sea.
⁸ Yet He saved them ^(N)for the sake of His name,
That He might ^(O)make His might known.
⁹ Thus He ^(P)rebuked the ^[g]Red Sea and it ^(Q)dried up,
And He ^(R)led them through the deeps, as through the wilderness.
¹⁰ So He ^(S)saved them from the ^[h]hand of the one who hated them,
And ^(T)redeemed them from the ^[i]hand of the enemy.
^11 (U)The waters covered their adversaries;
Not one of them was left.
¹² Then they ^(V)believed His words;
They ^(W)sang His praise.

¹² “^(A)Awake, awake, Deborah;
Awake, awake, ^[a]utter a song!
Arise, Barak, and ^(B)take away your captives, O son of Abinoam.
¹³ Then survivors came down to the mighty ones;
The people of Yahweh came down to me as warriors.
¹⁴ From Ephraim those whose root is ^(C)in Amalek came down,
Following you, Benjamin, with your peoples;
From Machir commanders came down,
And from Zebulun those who wield the staff of a scribe.
¹⁵ And ^[b]the princes of Issachar were with Deborah;
As was Issachar, so was Barak;
Into the valley they rushed ^(D)at his ^[c]heels;
Among the divisions of Reuben
There was great persistence of the heart.
¹⁶ Why did you sit among ^(E)the ^[d]sheepfolds,
To hear the whistling for the flocks?
Among the divisions of Reuben
There were great probings of the heart.
^17 (F)Gilead dwelt across the Jordan;
And why did Dan stay in ships?
Asher sat at the seashore,
And dwelt by its landings.
^18 (G)Zebulun was a people who despised their lives even to death,
And Naphtali also, on the high places of the field.

¹⁹ “^(H)The kings came and fought;
Then fought the kings of Canaan
^(I)At Taanach near the waters of Megiddo;
^(J)They took no gain of silver.
^20 (K)The stars fought from heaven;
From their courses they fought against Sisera.
²¹ The river of Kishon swept them away,
The ancient river, the river Kishon.
^(L)O my soul, march on with strength.
