1 By night on my bed I seek him whom my soul loves; I seek him, but I find him not.
2 I rise; I beseech: I go about the city - in the streets and in the broadways: I seek him whom my soul loves; I seek him, but I find him not.
3 The guards surrounding the city find me; See you him whom my soul loves?
4 In a little I pass from them, until I find him whom my soul loves; I hold him and not let him go until I bring him into the house of my mother - into the chamber of her who conceived me.
5 I oath you, O you daughters of Yeru Shalem, by the gazelles and by the hinds of the field, that you neither stir nor waken the love until he desires.
6 Who is this ascending from the wilderness as columns of smoke? - incensed with myrrh and frankincense with all powders of the merchant?
7 Behold his bed, of Shelomoh; sixty mighty surround it - of the mighty of Yisra El.
8 They all hold swords; taught in war; every man with his sword on his flank because of dread in the night.
9 Sovereign Shelomoh works himself a palanquin of the timber of Lebanon:
10 he works the pillars of silver the railings of gold the saddle of purple the middle paved with love for the daughters of Yeru Shalem.
11 Come, you daughters of Siyon and see sovereign Shelomoh with the crown his mother crowned him in the day of his wedding and in the day of the cheerfulness of his heart.
