Shir-HaShirim (Sng) 3
3
1Night after night on my bed
I looked for the man I love.
I looked for him, but I didn’t find him.
2“I will get up now and roam the city,
through the streets and the open places,
I will look for the man I love.”
I looked for him, but I didn’t find him.
3The guards roaming the city found me.
“Have you seen the man I love?”
4Scarcely had I left them,
when I found the man I love.
I took hold of him
and would not let him go
until I had brought him to my mother’s house,
to the bedroom of the woman who conceived me.
5I warn you, daughters of Yerushalayim,
by the gazelles and deer in the wilds,
not to awaken or stir up love
until it wants to arise!
6Who is this, coming up from the desert
like a column of smoke,
perfumed with myrrh and frankincense,
chosen from the merchant’s crushed spices?
7It is Shlomo’s litter,
escorted by sixty valiant men
chosen from Isra’el’s finest;
8all of them wield the sword
and are expert fighters;
each one has his sword ready at his side
to combat the terrors of night.
9King Shlomo made himself a royal litter
of wood from the L’vanon.
10He made its columns of silver,
its roof of gold, its seat of purple cloth;
its inside was lovingly inlaid
by the daughters of Yerushalayim.
11Daughters of Tziyon, come out,
and gaze upon King Shlomo,
wearing the crown with which his mother crowned him
on his wedding day, his day of joy!
