New American Standard Bible 2020

The Torment of Separation

The Groom

The Bride

1“I have 1comeH935 into my gardenH1588, 2my sisterH269, my brideH3618; I have gatheredH717 my 3myrrhH4753 alongH5973 withH5973 my balsamH1314. I have eatenH398 my honeycombH3293 with my 4honeyH1706; I have 5drunkH8354 my wineH3196 with my milkH2461. EatH398, 6friendsH7453; DrinkH8354 and 7drinkH7937 deeplyH7937, loversH1730.”

2“I was asleepH3463 but my heartH3820 was awakeH5782. A voiceH6963! My belovedH1730 was knockingH1849: ‘OpenH6605 to me, 8my sisterH269, my darlingH7474, 9My doveH3123, my perfectH8535 oneH8535! For my headH7218 is 10drenchedH4390 with dewH2919, My 11locksH6977 with the dewH7447 dropsH7447 of the nightH3915.’3I have 12takenH6584 offH6584 my dressH3801, HowH351 can I putH3847 it onH3847 again? I have 13washedH7364 my feetH7272, HowH351 can I dirtyH2936 them again?4My belovedH1730 extendedH7971 his handH3027 throughH4480 the openingH2356, And my 14feelingsH4578 were stirredH1993 for him.5I aroseH6965 to openH6605 to my belovedH1730; And my handsH3027 15drippedH5197 with myrrhH4753, And my fingersH676 with dropsH5674 of myrrhH4753, On the handlesH3709 of the boltH4514.6I openedH6605 to my belovedH1730, But my belovedH1730 had 16turnedH2559 awayH2559 and had goneH5674! My 17heartH5315 wentH3318 outH3318 to him as he 18spokeH1696. I 19searchedH1245 for him but I did not findH4672 him; I 20calledH7121 him but he did not answerH6030 me.7The 21watchmenH8104 who makeH5437 the roundsH5437 in the cityH5892 foundH4672 me, They struckH5221 me and woundedH6481 me; The guardsH8104 of the wallsH2346 tookH5375 my shawlH7289 awayH5375 from me.

The Chorus

822SwearH7650 to me, you daughtersH1323 of JerusalemH3389, IfH518 you findH4672 my belovedH1730, As to whatH4100 you will tellH5046 him: For 23I am lovesickH2470H160.”

9“24WhatH4100 kind of belovedH1730 is your belovedH1730, O 25most beautifulH3303 among womenH802? 26WhatH4100 kind of belovedH1730 is your belovedH1730, That you makeH7650 us swearH7650 in thisH3602 wayH3602?”
