Scripture focus

2. Praise ye the LORD for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves. 3. Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, [even] I, will sing unto the LORD; I will sing [praise] to the LORD God of Israel. 4. LORD, when thou wentest out of Seir, when thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds also dropped water. 5. The mountains melted from before the LORD, [even] that Sinai from before the LORD God of Israel.

Theological / Devotional

Avenging. Heb. peroa1 pera‘oth. Both of these words come from the root para‘ which signifies “to lead.” Hence these Hebrew words may be translated, “the leading of the leaders,” which is similar to the rendering found in several versions. “The leaders took the lead” (RSV).
