⁵ I am very dark, but ^(A)lovely,
    O ^(B)daughters of Jerusalem,
like ^(C)the tents of ^(D)Kedar,
    like the curtains of Solomon.

⁷ Behold, it is the litter^[a] of Solomon!
Around it are ^(A)sixty ^(B)mighty men,
    some of the mighty men of Israel,

⁹ King Solomon made himself a carriage^[a]
    from the wood of Lebanon.

¹¹ Go out, O ^(A)daughters of Zion,
    and look upon King Solomon,
with the crown with which his mother crowned him
    on ^(B)the day of his wedding,
    on the day of the gladness of his heart.

¹² My vineyard, my very own, is before me;
    you, O Solomon, may have the thousand,
    and ^(A)the keepers of the fruit two hundred.
