5:4 O Lord, when you departed from Seir,
when you marched from Edom’s plains,
the earth shook, the heavens poured down,
the clouds poured down rain.
5:13 Then the survivors came down to the mighty ones;
the Lord’s people came down to me as warriors.
5:20 From the sky the stars fought,
from their paths in the heavens they fought against Sisera.
5:23 ‘Call judgment down on Meroz,’ says the Lord’s angelic messenger;
‘Be sure to call judgment down on those who live there,
because they did not come to help in the Lord’s battle,
to help in the Lord’s battle against the warriors.’
5:31 May all your enemies perish like this, O Lord!
But may those who love you shine
like the rising sun at its brightest!”
And the land had rest for forty years.
