Commentary for Judges 5:9

לִבִּי֙ לְחוֹקְקֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל הַמִּֽתְנַדְּבִ֖ים בָּעָ֑ם בָּרֲכ֖וּ יְהוָֽה׃

My heart is toward the governors of Israel, That offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the LORD.

Rashi on Judges

My heart. I, Devorah, [my heart is out] to the legislators of Yisroel—with affection for the sages of Yisroel who volunteered, among the people, saying, "Bless Adonoy, return to Him".

Metzudat David on Judges

My heart is with Israel’s lawmakers: That is to say, it is not only lip service, but rather from the depths of the heart that I will speak to the lawmakers of Israel who voluntarily offer themselves to wage war, that they should bless the Lord for that which He put into their hearts to offer themselves voluntarily.
