3:1
Asleep on my bed, night after night I dreamed of the one I love; I was looking
for him, but couldn't find him.
3:2
I went wandering through the city, through its streets and alleys. I looked for
the one I love. I looked, but couldn't find him.
3:3
The sentries patrolling the city saw me. I asked them, "Have you found my
lover?"
3:4
As soon as I left them, I found him. I held him and wouldn't let him go until I
took him to my mother's house, to the room where I was born.
3:5
Promise me, women of Jerusalem; swear by the swift deer and the gazelles that
you will not interrupt our love.
3:6
What is this coming from the desert like a column of smoke, fragrant with
incense and myrrh, the incense sold by the traders?
3:7
Solomon is coming, carried on his throne; sixty
soldiers form the bodyguard, the finest soldiers in Israel.
3:8
All of them are skillful with the sword; they are
battle-hardened veterans. Each of them is armed with a sword, on guard against
a night attack.
3:9
King Solomon is carried on a throne made of the finest wood.
3:10
Its posts are covered with silver; over it is cloth embroidered with gold. Its
cushions are covered with purple cloth, lovingly woven by the women of
Jerusalem.
3:11
Women of Zion, come and see King Solomon. He is wearing the crown that his
mother placed on his head on his wedding day, on the day of his gladness and
joy.
