Song of Songs 6:8-10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
8 Sixty are the queens, eighty the concubines,
and young women without number—
9 One alone[a] is my dove, my perfect one,
her mother’s special one,
favorite of the one who bore her.
Daughters see her and call her happy,
queens and concubines, and they praise her:
10 (A)“Who[b] is this that comes forth like the dawn,
beautiful as the white moon, pure as the blazing sun,
fearsome as celestial visions?”
