9  My heart goes out to the commanders of Israel

who offered themselves willingly among the people.

Bless the Lord.

10  “Tell of it, you who ^uride on white donkeys,

you who sit on rich carpets¹

and you who walk by the way.

11  To the sound of musicians² at the watering places,

there they repeat the ^vrighteous triumphs of the Lord,

the righteous triumphs of his villagers in Israel.

“Then down to the gates marched the ^wpeople of the Lord.

12  “Awake, awake, Deborah!

Awake, awake, break out in a song!

Arise, Barak, lead away your captives,

O son of Abinoam.
