Song of Songs 3:1-4
Legacy Standard Bible
The Bride’s Troubled Dream
3 “[a]On my bed night after night I sought him
(A)Whom my soul loves;
I (B)sought him but did not find him.
2 ‘[b]I must arise now and [c]go about the city;
In the (C)streets and in the squares
[d]I must seek him whom my soul loves.’
I sought him but did not find him.
3 (D)The watchmen who go about the city found me,
And I said, ‘Have you seen him whom my soul loves?’
4 (E)Scarcely had I passed them by
When I found him whom my soul loves;
I (F)seized him and would not let him go
Until I had (G)brought him to my mother’s house,
And into the chamber of her who conceived me.”

International Standard Version
The Loved One
3 Night after night on my bed,
I sought the one I love;
I sought him, but didn’t find him.
2 I’ll get up and go all around the city,
throughout the streets, and in the squares.
I’ll seek the one I love.
I sought him, but didn’t find him.
3 The watchmen who go all around the city found me.
I asked,[a] “Have you seen the one I love?”
4 I had just passed them
when I found the one I love.
I held him and wouldn’t let him go
until I brought him to my mother’s house,
to the room of the one who conceived me.
