Therefore you will joyously draw water
From the springs of salvation.

And will shout joyfully of Your righteousness.

What Balak king of Moab counseled
And what Balaam son of Beor answered him,
And from Shittim to Gilgal,
So that you might know the righteous acts of the Lord.”

Until I, Deborah, arose,
Until I arose, a mother in Israel.

When I took my seat in the square,

A strength to those who repel the onslaught at the gate.
