Deborah
In days of old, she stood proud and tall
Blessed among women who heard the call
Held the Scales of Justice in each hand
Prophetess of Israel's threatened land
Stood above the high status of men
Led Barak's fierce battle there and then
Triumph by a woman was declared
No other person's feat has compared
Passed judgements beneath a date palm tree Woman of status, men bent the knee
Hear songs of wisdom that bear her name Scribed in the biblical hall of fame
