1"On my bed<4904> night<3915> after night I sought<1245> him Whom<7945> my soul<5315> loves<157>; I sought<1245> him but did not find<4672> him.
2'I must arise<6965> now<4994> and go<5437> about<5437> the city<5892>; In the streets<7784> and in the squares<7339> I must seek<1245> him whom<7945> my soul<5315> loves<157>.' I sought<1245> him but did not find<4672> him.
3"The watchmen<8104> who make<5437> the rounds<5437> in the city<5892> found<4672> me, And I said, 'Have you seen<7200> him whom<7945> my soul<5315> loves<157>?'
4"Scarcely<4592> had I left<5674> them When<5704><7945> I found<4672> him whom<7945> my soul<5315> loves<157>; I held<270> on to him and would not let<7503> him go<7503> Until<5704> I had brought<935> him to my mother's<517> house<1004>, And into the room<2315> of her who conceived<2029> me."
5"I adjure<7650> you, O daughters<1323> of Jerusalem<3389>, By the gazelles<6643> or<176> by the hinds<355> of the field<7704>, That you will not arouse<5782> or awaken<5782> my love<160> Until<5704> she pleases<2654>."
6"What<4310> is this<384> coming<5927> up from the wilderness<4057> Like columns<8490> of smoke<6227>, Perfumed<6999> with myrrh<4753> and frankincense<3828>, With all<3605> scented<81> powders<81> of the merchant<7402>?
7"Behold<2009>, it is the traveling couch<4296> of Solomon<8010>; Sixty<8346> mighty<1368> men<1368> around<5439> it, Of the mighty<1368> men<1368> of Israel<3478>.
8"All<3605> of them are wielders<270> of the sword<2719>, Expert<3925> in war<4421>; Each<376> man<376> has his sword<2719> at his side<3409>, Guarding against<4480> the terrors<6343> of the night<3915>.
9"King<4428> Solomon<8010> has made<6213> for himself a sedan<668> chair<668> From the timber<6086> of Lebanon<3844>.
10"He made<6213> its posts<5982> of silver<3701>, Its back<7507> of gold<2091> And its seat<4817> of purple<713> fabric<713>, With its interior<8432> lovingly<160> fitted<7528> out By the daughters<1323> of Jerusalem<3389>.
11"Go<3318> forth<3318>, O daughters<1323> of Zion<6726>, And gaze<7200> on King<4428> Solomon<8010> with the crown<5850> With which<7945> his mother<517> has crowned<5849> him On the day<3117> of his wedding<2861>, And on the day<3117> of his gladness<8057> of heart<3820>."
