10 Those who ride on white donkeys,
    seated on saddle rugs,
    and those who travel the road,
Sing of them
11     to the sounds of musicians at the wells.
There they recount the just deeds of the Lord,
    his just deeds bringing freedom to Israel.
12 Awake, awake, Deborah!
    Awake, awake, strike up a song!
Arise, Barak!
    Take captive your captors, son of Abinoam!

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.’
