51 That day Deborah and Barak son of Abinoam sang this song: 2 When they let down their hair in Israel, they let it blow wild in the wind. The people volunteered with abandon, bless God! 3 Hear O kings! Listen O princes! To God, yes to God, I'll sing, Make music to God, to the God of Israel. 4 God, when you left Seir, marched across the fields of Edom, Earth quaked, yes, the skies poured rain, oh, the clouds made rivers. 5 Mountains leapt before God, the Sinai God, before God, the God of Israel.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Judges 5:1-5
Commentary on Judges 5:1-5.
(Read Judges 5:1-5.)
No time should be lost in returning thanks to the Lord for his mercies; for our praises are most acceptable, pleasant, and profitable, when they flow from a full heart. By this, love and gratitude would be more excited and more deeply fixed in the hearts of believers; the events would be more known and longer remembered. Whatever Deborah, Barak, or the army had done, the Lord must have all the praise. The will, the power, and the success were all from Him.
