Deborah
Let Deborah write her song,
and open the floor.
My fellow poets, singers.
write with her the words.
but let her start the first verse.
we fear you can repeat the error.
of writing songs about her jewels
that which provoked God.
Join her to worship God above
he who sends Sisera to Jael.
The hospitality woman joins warriors.
she gives milk instead of water.
Her left hand holds a tent peg,
with the right a hammer
Now Deborah will rule Israel,
but the song we sing
is about the greatness of him above
not about her earrings.
Alert the singing birds in the forest,
to sing praises for God.
then he can descent follow the aroma,
to fill Deborah with wisdom to rule
