31So may all Your enemies perish, O LORD! But may those who love You shine like the sun at its brightest.” And the land had rest for forty years.

Judges 5:31
Deborah and Barak's Song: The LORD's Victory and Israel's Covenant Response
Judges 5 moves from a summons to praise the LORD for willing leaders and volunteers, through remembrance of His Sinai-like coming and Israel's covenant collapse, into tribal accountability, divine victory at Kishon, Jael's decisive blow, the humiliation of Sisera's household, and a closing prayer that the LORD's enemies perish while those who love Him rise like the sun.
