Solomon Arrives on His Wedding Day

[a](A)Who is this coming up from the wilderness
Like (B)columns of smoke,
As rising incense of (C)myrrh and (D)frankincense,
With all scented powders of the merchant?
Behold, it is the traveling couch of Solomon;
Sixty mighty men around it,
Of the mighty men of Israel.
All of them are those who seize the sword,
(E)Learned in war;
Each man has his (F)sword at his side,
Guarding against the [b](G)dreadful things of the night.
King Solomon has made for himself a sedan chair
From the timber of Lebanon.
10 He made its posts of silver,
Its [c]back of gold
And its seat of purple fabric,
With its interior inlaid with love
By the (H)daughters of Jerusalem.
11 Go forth and see, O (I)daughters of Zion,
King Solomon with the [d]crown
With which his mother has crowned him
On the (J)day of his wedding,
And on the day of his gladness of heart.”

Visions of grandeur

Who is this, coming up from the wilderness,
        like pillars of smoke?
She is perfumed with myrrh and frankincense,
        selected from all the spice merchant’s powders.

Picture Solomon’s bed—
        sixty heroic men round about it,
        all from the heroes of Israel,
    all of them skilled with the sword,
        expert in warfare,
        each with his sword ready at his thigh
        against terrors that come by night.
King Solomon made a canopied couch for himself
        from the trees of Lebanon.
10 Its pillars he made of silver,
        its covering, cloth of gold,
        its cushions, royal purple;
        its interior inlaid with love.
Daughters of Jerusalem, 11 go forth!
Look, daughters of Zion—
        on King Solomon wearing the crown
        with which his mother crowned him
        on the day of his wedding,
        on the day of his heart’s joy.
