NASB Bible

Song of Solomon 3

The Bride's Troubled Dream

1

1On my bed night after night I sought him  aWhom my soul loves; I  bsought him but did not find him.

2

1I must arise now and  1go about the city; In the  astreets and in the squares  2I must seek him whom my soul loves.' I sought him but did not find him.

3

aThe watchmen who make the rounds in the city found me, And I said, `Have you seen him whom my soul loves?'

4

aScarcely had I  1left them When I found him whom my soul loves; I  bheld on to him and would not let him go Until I had  cbrought him to my mother's house, And into the room of her who conceived me."

5

1I  aadjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, By the  bgazelles or by the hinds of the field, That you will not arouse or awaken my love Until  2she pleases."

Solomon's Wedding Day

6

1\, 2 aWhat is this coming up from the wilderness Like  bcolumns of smoke, Perfumed with  cmyrrh and  dfrankincense, With all scented powders of the merchant?

7

"Behold, it is the traveling couch of Solomon; Sixty mighty men around it, Of the mighty men of Israel.

8

"All of them are wielders of the sword,  aExpert in war; Each man has his  bsword at his side, Guarding against the  1 cterrors of the night.

9

"King Solomon has made for himself a sedan chair From the timber of Lebanon.

10

"He made its posts of silver, Its  1back of gold And its seat of purple fabric, With its interior lovingly fitted out By the  adaughters of Jerusalem.

11

"Go forth, O  adaughters of Zion, And gaze on King Solomon with the  1crown With which his mother has crowned him On the  bday of his wedding, And on the day of his gladness of heart."
