1By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loves: I sought him, but I found him not.

2I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loves: I sought him, but I found him not.

3The watchmen that go about the city found me: [to whom I said], Saw you^2f him whom my soul loves?

4[It was] but a little that I passed from them, but 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, and into the chamber of her that conceived me.

5I charge you, O you^2f daughters of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that you^2f stir not up, nor awake [my] love, till he please.

6Who [is] this that comes out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant?

7Behold his bed, which [is] Shlomo’s (Solomon) [peace]; threescore valiant men [are] about it, of the valiant of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].

8They all hold swords, [being] expert in war: every man [has] his sword upon his thigh because of fear in the night.

9King Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] made himself a chariot of the wood of L’vanon [Whiteness].

10He made the pillars thereof [of] silver, the bottom thereof [of] gold, the covering of it [of] purple, the midst thereof being paved [with] love, for the daughters of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].

11Go forth, O you^2f daughters of Tziyon [parched place], and behold king Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] with the crown which his mother crowned him in the day of his espousals, and in the day of the gladness of his heart.
