Judges 5:10 Context
8They chose new gods; then was warre in the gates: was there a shield or speare seene among fourtie thousand in Israel? 9My heart is toward the gouernours of Israel, that offered themselues willingly among the people: Blesse ye the Lord. 10Speake yee that ride on white asses, yee that sit in Iudgement, and walke by the way. 11They that are deliuered from the noise of Archers in the places of drawing water; there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the Lord, euen the righteous acts towards the inhabitants of his villages in Israel: then shall the people of the Lord goe downe to the gates. 12Awake, awake Deborah: awake, awake, vtter a song: arise Barak, and leade thy captiuitie captiue, thou sonne of Abinoam.

Wesley's Notes for Judges 5:10
5:10 Speak - Celebrate the praise of our mighty God. That ride on white asses - That is, magistrates and nobles, who used to do so, chap.#10:4 12:14|. That walk - That is, you that can safely travel in those high ways, which before you durst neither ride nor walk in: so great and mean persons are jointly excited to praise God.
