3Verse 1By night on my bed,I sought him whom my soul loves. I sought him, but I didn’t find him.Verse 2I will get up now, and go about the city;in the streets and in the squares I will seek him whom my soul loves. I sought him, but I didn’t find him.Verse 3The watchmen who go about the city found me;“Have you seen him whom my soul loves?”Verse 4I had scarcely passed from them,when I found him whom my soul loves.I held him, and would not let him go,until I had brought him into my mother’s house, into the room of her who conceived me.Verse 5I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem,by the roes, or by the hinds of the field, that you not stir up nor awaken love, until it so desires.Verse 6Who is this who comes up from the wilderness like pillars of smoke,perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all spices of the merchant?Verse 7Behold, it is Solomon’s carriage!Sixty mighty men are around it, of the mighty men of Israel.Verse 8They all handle the sword, and are expert in war.Every man has his sword on his thigh, because of fear in the night.Verse 9King Solomon made himself a carriageof the wood of Lebanon.Verse 10He made its pillars of silver,its bottom of gold, its seat of purple, the middle of it being paved with love, from the daughters of Jerusalem.Verse 11Go out, you daughters of Zion, and see King Solomon,with the crown with which his mother has crowned him, in the day of his weddings, in the day of the gladness of his heart.

I sought him, but I didn’t find him.Verse 3The watchmen who go about the city found me;“Have you seen him whom my soul loves?”Verse 4I had scarcely passed from them,when I found him whom my soul loves.I held him, and would not let him go,until I had brought him into my mother’s house,
into the room of her who conceived me.Verse 5I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem,by the roes, or by the hinds of the field,
that you not stir up nor awaken love,
until it so desires.Verse 6Who is this who comes up from the wilderness like pillars of smoke,perfumed with myrrh and frankincense,
with all spices of the merchant?Verse 7Behold, it is Solomon’s carriage!Sixty mighty men are around it,
of the mighty men of Israel.Verse 8They all handle the sword, and are expert in war.Every man has his sword on his thigh,
because of fear in the night.Verse 9King Solomon made himself a carriageof the wood of Lebanon.Verse 10He made its pillars of silver,its bottom of gold, its seat of purple,
the middle of it being paved with love,
from the daughters of Jerusalem.Verse 11Go out, you daughters of Zion, and see King Solomon,with the crown with which his mother has crowned him,
in the day of his weddings,
in the day of the gladness of his heart.
