Young's Literal Translation
On my bed
at
night I sought the
one
I
love
; I sought him, but
did
not
find
him .
On my couch
by
night ,
I sought him
whom
my
soul
hath
loved
; I sought him, and
I
found
him not!
I
will
arise
now
and go about
the city, through
the streets and squares.
I
will
seek
the one
I love.
So
I sought him but
did
not
find
him.
--
Pray,
let
me
rise,
and go round
the city, In
the streets and in
the broad
places,
I seek
him
whom
my
soul
hath
loved!
--
I sought him ,
and
I
found
him not
.
I
encountered
the watchmen on
their
rounds
of
the city :
“
Have you
seen
the
one
I
love
? ”
The watchmen have
found
me,
(Who
are
going
round
about
the city ),
`Him
whom
my
soul
have loved
saw
ye
? '
I had
just
passed them when
I found the
one
I
love.
I held
him and would
not
let go until
I had
brought him to
my
mother’s
house ,
to
the chamber of the
one
who
conceived me.
But
a
little
I passed on
from
them ,
Till
I found him
whom
my
soul
hath
loved!
I seized
him ,
and let him
not
go ,
Till
I brought him in
unto
the
house of
my
mother
--
And
the chamber of her
that
conceived me.
O
daughters of Jerusalem, I
adjure
you
by the gazelles
and
does
of the field :
Do
not arouse
or
awaken
love
until
the time
is
right.
I
have
adjured
you,
daughters of Jerusalem, By the roes
or
by
the
hinds
of the field ,
Stir
not up
nor
wake
the love
till
she
please!
Who is this coming up from the wilderness like a
column
of smoke, scented
with myrrh and frankincense from all
the
spices
of the merchant?
Who `
is '
this coming up from the wilderness ,
Like palm-trees
of smoke, Perfumed
`
with '
myrrh and frankincense ,
From every

of the merchant?
Behold
, it
is Solomon’s
carriage
, escorted
by
sixty of the mightiest
men
of Israel .
Lo

couch,

`
is '
Solomon's
, Sixty mighty
ones
`are'
around
it,
Of the mighty

All are

with
the
sword, experienced
in
warfare.
Each has
his sword at
his side
prepared
for the
terror
of
the
night.
All of
them
holding
sword, taught
of
battle,
Each his sword by
his thigh,
for fear
at
night.
King Solomon has
made his
carriage
out
of the timber
of Lebanon .
A
palanquin
king Solomon made for
himself,
Of the wood
of Lebanon ,
He has
made its
posts
of silver, its base
of gold, its seat of purple fabric.
Its interior
is
inlaid
with love by the daughters of Jerusalem.
Its
pillars
he made of silver, Its bottom
of gold, its seat of purple ,
Its midst
lined
`
with '
love ,
By the daughters of Jerusalem.
Come
out
, O
daughters of Zion, and
gaze
at
King Solomon, wearing
the crown his mother bestowed
on
the day of his wedding—
the day of his heart’s
rejoicing.
Go
forth
, and
look,
ye
daughters of Zion, On
king Solomon, with
the crown ,
With
which

him,
In
the day of his espousals,
And
in
the day of the
joy
of
his heart!
