Song of Songs 3
American Standard Version
1By nightH3915 on my bedH4904 I soughtH1245 him whom my soulH5315 loveth: I soughtH1245 him, but I foundH4672 him not.2I said, I will riseH6965 now, and goH5437 about the cityH5892; In the streets and in the broad ways I will seekH1245 him whom my soulH5315 loveth: I soughtH1245 him, but I foundH4672 him not.3The watchmenH8104 that goH5437 about the cityH5892 foundH4672 me; To whom I said, SawH7200 ye him whom my soulH5315 loveth?4It was but a littleH4592 that I passedH5674 from them, When I foundH4672 him whom my soulH5315 loveth: I heldH270 him, and would not let him goH935, Until I had broughtH935 him into my mother’sH517 houseH1004, And into the chamberH2315 of her that conceivedH2029 me.5I adjureH7650 you, O daughtersH1323 of JerusalemH3389, By the roes, or by the hinds of the fieldH7704, That ye stirH5782 not up, nor awakeH5782 my loveH160, Until he please.6Who is this that cometh up from the wildernessH4057 Like pillars of smokeH6999, Perfumed with myrrhH4753 and frankincenseH3828, With all powders of the merchant?7Behold, it is the litter of SolomonH8010; Threescore mightyH1368 menH1368 are about it, Of the mightyH1368 menH1368 of IsraelH3478.8They all handle the swordH2719, andare expert in warH4421: Every manH376 hath his swordH2719 upon his thighH3409, Because of fearH6343 in the nightH3915.9KingH4428 SolomonH8010 madeH6213 himself a palanquin Of the woodH6086 of LebanonH3844.10He madeH6213 the pillarsH5982 thereof of silverH3701, The bottom thereof of goldH2091, the seat of it of purpleH713, The midstH8432 thereof being paved with loveH160, From the daughtersH1323 of JerusalemH3389.11GoH3318 forthH3318, O ye daughtersH1323 of ZionH6726, and behold kingH4428 SolomonH8010, With the crownH5850 wherewith his motherH517 hath crownedH5849 him In the dayH3117 of his espousals, And in the dayH3117 of the gladnessH8057 of his heartH3820.
