Mutual Delight in Each Other
The Chorus
1“Where has your beloved gone,
O most beautiful among women?
Where has your beloved turned,
That we may seek him with you?”
The Bride
2¶“My beloved has gone down to his garden,
To the beds of balsam,
To pasture his flock in the gardens
And gather lilies.
3“I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine,
He who pastures his flock among the lilies.”
The Groom
4¶“You are as beautiful as Tirzah, my darling,
As lovely as Jerusalem,
As awesome as an army with banners.
5“Turn your eyes away from me,
For they have confused me;
Your hair is like a flock of goats
That have descended from Gilead.
6“Your teeth are like a flock of ewes
That have come up from their watering place,
All of which bear twins,
And not one among them has lost her young.
7“Your temples are like a slice of a pomegranate
Behind your veil.
8“There are sixty queens and eighty concubines,
And #6:8 Or virginsyoung women without number;
9 But my dove, my perfect one, is #6:9 Lit oneunique:
She is her mother’s #6:9 Lit oneonly daughter;
She is the pure child of the one who gave birth to her.
The #6:9 Lit daughtersyoung women saw her and called her #6:9 Or happyblessed,
The queens and the concubines also, and they praised her, saying,
10¶‘Who is this who looks down like the dawn,
As beautiful as the full moon,
As pure as the sun,
As awesome as an army with banners?’
11“I went down to the orchard of nut trees
To see the plants of the valley,
To see whether the vine had grown
Or the pomegranates had bloomed.
12“#6:12 Lit I was not aware, my soulBefore I was aware, my soul set me
Over the chariots of #6:12 Or Ammi-nadibmy noble people.”
The Chorus
13¶“#6:13 Ch 7:1 in HebCome back, come back, O Shulammite;
Come back, come back, so that we may look at you!”
The Groom
“Why should you look at the Shulammite,
As at the dance of #6:13 Or Mahanaimthe two armies?
