2  “That the leaders took the lead in Israel,

that ^wthe people offered themselves willingly,

bless the Lord!

3  “Hear, O kings; give ear, O princes;

to the Lord I will sing;

I will make melody to the Lord, the God of Israel.

4  “Lord, ^xwhen you went out from Seir,

when you marched from the region of Edom,

^ythe earth trembled

and the heavens dropped,

yes, the clouds dropped water.

5  The mountains ^zquaked before the Lord,

^aeven Sinai before the Lord,¹ the God of Israel.
