Deborah, the ancient Joan of Ark.
Courage, you counsel
Bravery, the flag of determination
Wisdom, a secure armor
Truth, an invincible sword
Righteousness, the steed for battle.
A leader to victory
esteemed for fairness
honored as first female judge
the shade of the palm, your court.
Oh, that all judges
would hand down decisions
from such a bench.
Judges 4
