2 " That the leaders led in Israel , That the people volunteered , Bless the Lord ! 3 "Hear , O kings ; give ear , O rulers ! I-to the Lord , I will sing , I will sing praise to the Lord , the God of Israel . 4 " Lord , when You went out from Seir , When You marched from the field of Edom , The earth quaked , the heavens also dripped , Even the clouds dripped water . 5 " The mountains quaked at the presence of the Lord , This Sinai , at the presence of the Lord , the God of Israel .
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Judges 5:2-5
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.
