This is the first prayer found in Judges. Called the “Song of Deborah," it is a poetic prayer/hymn that describes God's saving acts. It contains blessings and praises to Him for the victory of the Israelite forces over their enemies. Based on the style of Hebrew, it is one of the oldest hymns in the Bible—perhaps from the 12th century BC. In the ancient world, it was not unusual to compose hymns or songs in celebration of a great victory. The Israelites did the same here.References<ul> <li>Exodus 15</li> <li>Judges 4.1, 4</li></ul>Visit the website at <a href="http://www.prayingthruthebible.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.prayingthruthebible.com</a>.Resources<ul> <li>Praying Through the Bible (Vol 1): Genesis-Joshua (<a href="http://amzn.to/2xdqlEg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Paperback</a>| <a href="http://amzn.to/2xZTul8" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Kindle</a>| <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/praying-through-the-bible/id1067482742?mt=11" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">iBook</a>)</li> <li>Praying Through the Bible (Vol 2): Judges-2 Samuel (<a href="http://amzn.to/2pYrfNb" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Paperback</a>| <a href="http://amzn.to/2qwPtkc" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Kindle</a>| <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/praying-through-the-bible/id1232682055?ls=1&amp;mt=11" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">iBook</a>)</li> <li>Praying Through the Bible (Vol 3): 1 Kings–2 Chronicles (<a href="http://geni.us/PTTB3pbk" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Paperback</a>| <a href="http://geni.us/PTTB3kindle" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Kindle</a>)</li></ul> <a target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href="https://open.acast.com/public/patreon/fanSubscribe/1969437">Get bonus content on Patreon</a> <hr> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.
