1On my bed at night
2I will arise now and go about the city,
3I encountered the watchmen on their rounds of the city:
4I had just passed them when I found the one I love.
5O daughters of Jerusalem, I adjure you
6Who is this coming up from the wilderness
7Behold, it is Solomon’s carriage,3:7 That is, the couch on which servants carry a king
8All are skilled with the sword,
9King Solomon has made his carriage
10He has made its posts of silver,
11Come out, O daughters of Zion,
