Bible verse
My heart is with the princes of Israel, with the volunteers among the people. Bless the LORD!
Judges 5:9 · BSB
The verses around it, from Judges 5.
5 The mountains quaked before the LORD, the One of Sinai, before the LORD, the God of Israel.
6 In the days of Shamgar son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were deserted and the travelers took the byways.
7 Life in the villages ceased; it ended in Israel, until I, Deborah, arose, a mother in Israel.
8 When they chose new gods, then war came to their gates. Not a shield or spear was found among forty thousand in Israel.
9 My heart is with the princes of Israel, with the volunteers among the people. Bless the LORD!
10 You who ride white donkeys, who sit on saddle blankets, and you who travel the road, ponder
11 the voices of the singers at the watering places. There they shall recount the righteous acts of the LORD, the righteous deeds of His villagers in Israel. Then the people of the LORD went down to the gates:
12 ‘Awake, awake, O Deborah! Awake, awake, sing a song! Arise, O Barak, and take hold of your captives, O son of Abinoam!’
13 Then the survivors came down to the nobles; the people of the LORD came down to me against the mighty.
