Contextual Overview
4 These Levites were standing on the stairs: Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Kenani. They called out to the Lord their God with loud voices. 5 Then these Levites spoke: Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah. They said, "Stand up and praise the Lord your God, who lives forever and ever." "Blessed be your wonderful name. It is more wonderful than all blessing and praise. 6 You are the only Lord . You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, with all the stars. You made the earth and everything on it, the seas and everything in them; you give life to everything. The heavenly army worships you. 7 "You are the Lord , the God who chose Abram and brought him out of Ur in Babylonia and named him Abraham. 8 You found him faithful to you, so you made an agreement with him to give his descendants the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Jebusites, and Girgashites. You have kept your promise, because you do what is right. 9 "You saw our ancestors suffering in Egypt and heard them cry out at the Red Sea. 10 You did signs and miracles against the king of Egypt, and against all his officers and all his people, because you knew how proud they were. You became as famous as you are today. 11 You divided the sea in front of our ancestors; they walked through on dry ground. But you threw the people chasing them into the deep water, like a stone thrown into mighty waters. 12 You led our ancestors with a pillar of cloud by day and with a pillar of fire at night. It lit the way they were supposed to go. 13 You came down to Mount Sinai and spoke from heaven to our ancestors. You gave them fair rules and true teachings, good orders and commands.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Therefore thou deliveredst them into the hand of their enemies, who vexed them,.... As the kings of Mesopotamia, Moab, Canaan, and others:
and in the time of their trouble, when they cried unto thee; as they usually did, Judges 3:9,
thou heardest them from heaven; and according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest them saviours, who saved them out of the hands of their enemies; such were judges, Othniel, Ehud, Barak, Gideon, &c. and this was, done for them, not on account of their merits, but the abundant unmerited mercy of the Lord towards them.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Thou gavest them saviours - See Judges 3:15 etc.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 27. Thou gavest them saviours — The whole book of Judges is a history of God's mercies, and their rebellions.
