The writer credited Deborah with composing this song (cf. v. 7) even though he wrote that both Deborah and Barak sang it (v. 1).118
"It is important to notice that Deborah sang this song of praise on the same day God gave His people victory. . . . We ought to learn, as we observe these people, the priority of praise in believers' lives."119
