10 You who ride on white[a] donkeys,
who sit on saddle blankets,
and who travel on the road, give praise!
11 Let them tell the righteous acts(A) of the Lord,
the righteous deeds of His warriors in Israel,
with the voices of the singers at the watering places.[b]

Then the Lord’s people went down to the gates.
12 “Awake! Awake, Deborah!
Awake! Awake, sing a song!
Arise, Barak,
and take hold of your captives,
son of Abinoam!”
