Judges 5:1
On that day Deborah and Barak son of Abinoam sang this song:
2 “When the princes take the lead in Israel, when the people volunteer, bless the LORD.
3 Listen, O kings! Give ear, O princes! I will sing to the LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD, the God of Israel.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
