⁵ The mountains shook when you appeared,
    as they shook at Sinai mountain when you showed your power.
    You are the Lord, the God of Israel.
⁶ When Anath's son Shamgar ruled the land,
    nobody travelled on the roads.
When Jael ruled, people walked on secret paths,
    because they were afraid.
⁷     Nobody lived in the small villages.
Then I, Deborah, became their leader.
    I became like a mother for Israel's people,
    to keep them safe.
