10 “You who ride white donkeys,
sitting on soft saddle-blankets,
and you walking on the road,

the righteous acts of his rulers in Isra’el.

“Then Adonai’s people marched down to the gates.

12 “Awake, awake, D’vorah!
Awake, awake, break into song!
Arise, Barak! Lead away your captives,
son of Avino‘am!

10 “You who ride on white donkeys,(A)
    sitting on your saddle blankets,
    and you who walk along the road,
consider 11 the voice of the singers[a] at the watering places.
    They recite the victories(B) of the Lord,
    the victories of his villagers in Israel.

“Then the people of the Lord
    went down to the city gates.(C)
12 ‘Wake up,(D) wake up, Deborah!(E)
    Wake up, wake up, break out in song!
Arise, Barak!(F)
    Take captive your captives,(G) son of Abinoam.’
