Judges 5:9 in Context — Judges 5

7 Les chefs étaient sans force en Israël, sans force, Quand je me suis levée, moi, Débora, Quand je me suis levée comme une mère en Israël.

8 Il avait choisi de nouveaux dieux: Alors la guerre était aux portes; On ne voyait ni bouclier ni lance Chez quarante milliers en Israël.

9 Mon cœur est aux chefs d’Israël, A ceux du peuple qui se sont montrés prêts à combattre. Bénissez l’Éternel!

10 Vous qui montez de blanches ânesses, Vous qui avez pour sièges des tapis, Et vous qui marchez sur la route, chantez!

11 Que de leur voix les archers, du milieu des abreuvoirs, Célèbrent les bienfaits de l’Éternel, Les bienfaits de son conducteur en Israël! Alors le peuple de l’Éternel descendit aux portes.
