Narrator

Who is this(A) coming up from the wilderness
like columns of smoke,
scented with myrrh and frankincense(B)
from every fragrant powder of the merchant?

Look! Solomon’s bed
surrounded by sixty warriors
from the mighty men of Israel.
All of them are skilled with swords
and trained in warfare.
Each has his sword at his side(C)
to guard against the terror of the night.(D)

King Solomon made a carriage for himself
with wood from Lebanon.
10 He made its posts of silver,
its back[a] of gold,
and its seat of purple.
Its interior is inlaid with love[b]
by the young women of Jerusalem.(E)
11 Go out, young women of Zion,(F)
and gaze at King Solomon,
wearing the crown his mother placed on him
on the day of his wedding(G)
the day of his heart’s rejoicing.
