Berean Standard Bible
On my couch
by
night ,
I sought him
whom
my
soul
hath
loved
; I sought him, and
I
found
him
not !
On my bed
at
night I sought the
one
I
love
; 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
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
.
The watchmen have
found
me,
(Who
are
going
round
about
the city ),
`Him
whom
my
soul
have loved
saw
ye
? '
I
encountered
the watchmen on
their
rounds
of
the city :
“
Have you
seen
the
one
I
love
? ”
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.
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.
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!
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.

From every
powder
of the merchant?

column
of smoke, scented
with myrrh and frankincense from all

Lo,
his
couch
, that
`
is '
Solomon's
, Sixty mighty
ones
`are'
around
it,
Of the mighty
of Israel ,
Behold
, it
is Solomon’s
carriage
, escorted
by
sixty of the mightiest
men
of Israel .
All of
them
holding
sword, taught
of
battle,
Each his sword by
his thigh,
for fear
at
night.
All are
skilled
with
the
sword, experienced
in
warfare.
Each has
his sword at
his side
prepared
for the

A
palanquin
king Solomon made for
himself,
Of the wood
of Lebanon ,
King Solomon has
made his
carriage

of gold, its seat of purple ,
Its midst
lined
`
with '
love ,
By the daughters of Jerusalem.
He has
made its
posts
of silver, its base
of gold, its seat of purple fabric.
Its interior

Go
forth,
and
look
, ye
daughters of Zion, On
king Solomon, with
the crown ,
With
which
his mother crowned
him,
In
the day of his espousals,
And
in
the day of the

of
his heart!
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.
