[a](A)You are as beautiful as (B)Tirzah, my darling,
As (C)lovely as (D)Jerusalem,
As (E)majestic as [b]an army with banners.
Turn your eyes away from me,
For they have overwhelmed me;
(F)Your hair is like a flock of goats
That have leapt down from Gilead.
(G)Your teeth are like a flock of ewes
Which have come up from their washing,
All of which bear twins,
And not one among them has [c]lost her young.
(H)Your temples are like a slice of a pomegranate
Behind your veil.
There are sixty (I)queens and eighty concubines,
And [d](J)maidens without number;
She is the only one—(K)my dove, my perfect one;
She is the only one of her mother;
She is the pure one of her who bore her.
The (L)daughters saw her and called her blessed,
The (M)queens and the concubines also, and they praised her, saying,
10 ‘Who is this that looks down like the dawn,
As beautiful as the full (N)moon,
As pure (O)as the sun,
As (P)majestic as [e]an army with banners?’
