Judges 5 The Song of Deborah
(Read Entire Chapter)
Music and singing were a cherished part of Israel’s culture. Chapter 5 is a song, possibly composed and sung by Deborah and Barak. It sets to music the story of Israel’s great victory recounted in Chapter 4. This victory song was accompanied by joyous celebration. It proclaimed God’s greatness by giving him credit for the victory. It was an excellent way to preserve and retell this wonderful story from generation to generation.
In Victory, Barak and Deborah sang praises to God. Songs of praise focus our attention on God, give us an outlet for spiritual celebration, and remind us of God’s faithfulness and character. Whether you are experiencing a great victory or a major dilemma, singing praises to God can have a positive effect on your attitude.
