Judges 5

After the victory of Deborah and Barak in the last chapter, they sing a victory song. It is rather confusing in some places, but then I've never been a great lover of poetry - and poetry that has been translated is even trickier. It is very descriptive in places, almost to the point of being grotesque, but the theme is solid: when the Israelites cry out to God He hears them, He rescues them, and those who obey Him in the process are honored.
