Song of Solomon 3:6-11

New Living Translation

⁶ Who is this sweeping in from the wilderness
    like a cloud of smoke?
Who is it, fragrant with myrrh and frankincense
    and every kind of spice?
⁷ Look, it is Solomon’s carriage,
    surrounded by sixty heroic men,
    the best of Israel’s soldiers.
⁸ They are all skilled swordsmen,
    experienced warriors.
Each wears a sword on his thigh,
    ready to defend the king against an attack in the night.
⁹ King Solomon’s carriage is built
    of wood imported from Lebanon.
¹⁰ Its posts are silver,
    its canopy gold;
    its cushions are purple.
It was decorated with love
    by the young women of Jerusalem.

¹¹ Come out to see King Solomon,
    young women of Jerusalem.^[a]
He wears the crown his mother gave him on his wedding day,
    his most joyous day.
