Song of Songs 3

Revised Version 1895

1By nightH3915 on my bedH4904 I soughtH1245 him whom my soulH5315 loveth: I soughtH1245 him, but I foundH4672 him notH3808. 2I said, I will riseH6965 nowH4994, and goH5437 aboutH5437 the cityH5892, in the streetsH7339 and in the broad ways, I will seekH1245 him whom my soulH5315 loveth: I soughtH1245 him, but I foundH4672 him notH3808. 3The watchmenH8104 that goH5437 aboutH5437 the cityH5892 foundH4672 meH5315: 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 notH3808 letH7503 him goH935, untilH5704 I had broughtH935 him intoH413 my mother’sH517 houseH1004, and intoH413 the chamberH2315 of herH413 that conceivedH2029 meH413. 5I adjureH7650 youH518, O daughtersH1323 of JerusalemH3389, by the roes, and by the hindsH355 of the fieldH7704, that ye stirH5782 notH518 upH5704, norH518 awakenH5782 loveH160, untilH5704 it please. 6Who is this that cometh upH5927 outH4480 of the wildernessH4057 like pillars of smokeH6999, perfumedH6999 with myrrhH4753 and frankincenseH3828, with allH3605 powdersH81 of the merchantH7402? 7BeholdH2009, it is the litter of SolomonH8010; threescore mightyH1368 menH1368 are aboutH5439 it, of the mightyH1368 menH1368 of IsraelH3478. 8They allH3605 handleH270 the swordH2719, and are expertH376 in warH4421: everyH3605 manH376 hath his swordH2719 uponH5921 his thighH3409, becauseH5921 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 seatH4817 of it of purpleH713, the midstH8432 thereof being paved with loveH160, from the daughtersH1323 of JerusalemH3389. 11GoH3318 forthH3318, O ye daughtersH1323 of ZionH6726, and beholdH7200 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.
