10 (A)You who ride on [a]white donkeys,
You who sit on rich carpets,
And you who travel on the road—shout in praise!
11 At the sound of those who distribute water among (B)the watering places,
There they will recount (C)the righteous deeds of the Lord,
The righteous deeds for His [b]peasantry in Israel.
Then the people of the Lord went down (D)to the gates.

12 (E)Awake, awake, Deborah;
Awake, awake, [c]sing a song!
Arise, Barak, and (F)lead away your captives, son of Abinoam.
